perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Victor Olifer <>]

Hi Andrew,

We are going to install perfSONAR Toolkit on Janet (www.ja.net), the UK NREN. 
 We have tried v.3.3.2 (positively) but now are not sure whether we should 
deploy it or better wait for 3.4. Could you please advise us about a possible 
date of 3.4 production release (a month of waiting seems to be OK for us, 
anything longer would be   problematic).

Thanks,
Victor

Subject: [perfsonar-user] 3.4rc2 users and yum update

Hi,

Just a notice to beta testers of 3.4rc2, if you run 'yum update' you will 
likely break you measurement archive due to a RPM conflict caused by a new 
package that CentOS added to their software collections (SCL) yum repository 
a couple days ago. Note that this only affects the current release candidate 
and does NOT affect any of the current production versions of of the 
perfSONAR Toolkit. Users running versions 3.3.2 and older can ignore this 
email.

For 3.4rc2 users, it is recommended before any future updates you run the 
following command:

yum remove centos-release-SCL

If you have run yum update in the last 48 hours and your MA is already broken 
send me an email and I can help you restore it. I will send a reminder about 
this when we release rc3. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and 
thanks as always to our testers for being early adopters and helping us sort 
through these kinds of issues!

Thanks,
Andy
