Hi all,
since we have lcg_utils with much improved error messages since a while,
and we have a much faster edg-rm as a wrapper around lcg_utils, we intend
to lump those in with the 2_3_1 release. Please read the quoted message
and let us know if this would pose a serious problem.
Thanks,
Maarten

Well, we do not want to support "edg-rm pi" any longer.
People should use lcg-infosites instead.
For the short term, however, people might use the old edg-rm,
still available as "edg-rm-orig".
