perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Xavier Jeannin <>]

Dear All

I have tried to install PerfSONAR MDM v3.3 on a Debian system with the 
PerfSONAR MDM 3.2 Adminitrator's Guide, I did not find the 3.3 
Adminitrator's Guide.
Thanks to Wiktor Procyk I finally discover the appropriate documentation 
(I hope)
https://forge.geant.net/forge/display/perfsonar/perfSONAR+MDM+Administrator%27s+Guide

I try to install MDM not withour the DVD ISO, maybe its not a good idea ...

I would like to install PerfSONAR MDM v3.3 on a Debian 6.0 Squeeze, 
maybe it is also a bad idea

I try to install java jdk 5 but it is now deprecated so I install java 
jdk 6
I try to install tomcat5.5 but it is now deprecated and apt-get do not 
find it  so I install tomcat6
I try to install "exist" but it claims that exist depends on tomcat5.5 
so. I cannot force the system so I am stuck.
I only find on my system the following thing :
"tomcat5.5-exist - This is a dummy package used to rename the package to 
exist."

Is it possible to install PerfSONAR MDM v3.3 on a Debian 6.0 Squeeze or 
should I have to install a Debian 5.0?
is it possible to install PerfSONAR MDM v3.3 on a Debian 5.0 or 6.0 
without the ISO DVD or I will again encounter the same problem with the 
deprecated version of tomcat5.5?

thank you in advance
regards
Xavier
