Yo,
Due to the fact that four days is not enough to upgrade from LCG 2.4.0 /
Quattor 1.0 to LCG 2.6.0 / Quattor 1.1, I have extended our downtime
entry into early next week. I hope I do not have to extend it again.
I will refrain from making my usual rant here against various
four-letter software products and just state that the lack of backwards
compatibility in ALL layers involved ... bare quattor templates / QWG
templates / grid middleware / perl-Useless-But-Required-Add-On-Package /
java installation / i'm sure there will be more ... is absolutely
killing us. Upgrade one, have to upgrade them all.
No wonder YAIM is so successful ... the situation is so terrible that it
is a much happier prospect to accept a configuration that works, but
gives you something other what you want, than it is to attempt to create
a configuration for what you DO want yet fail time and time again.
