perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Raul Lopes <>]

Hi Marian,

My nodes are installed from the perfSONAR iso, with no priority changed. Because we installed from the iso,

I assumed it is a problem in the configuration of  repos in the iso. It's a minor thing that I can work around, but iit would be nice to see fixed.

$ rpm -q jq

jq-1.6.10-1.el7.x86_64

Right, so I have the same repos as you do, which only has release jq-1.6.10-1.el7.x86_64.

It looks like my jq is back from 4.3.0 release. I wonder how it didn’t get to later releases, but it’s likely causing issues for anyone who skipped 4.3.0 for any reason.

Cheers,

Marian
