Hi Simon/All
The discussion was noted and I will follow up on it at the 2nd EGEE/LCG Operations Workshop taking place for the rest of this week. This is a good forum in which to raise this issue.
Are there any other "central" problems that people on this list want raised at the workshop? For those interested the agenda is here:

Many thanks,
Jeremy

Subject: Re: Sites not publishing accounting data
Hi Jeremy,
at the last tb-support meeting, as far as I recall, it was confirmed
that the accounting package in LCG 2.4.0 does not work, which was
thought likely to be the reason why some sites (e.g. RHUL) had followed
the installation instructions but not got accounting working.
I asked why fixes considered necessary (like this) are not put in to the
apt/yum rpm respository for LCG software, so they can be upgraded
automatically or by site admins just running the standard update
command. We are already doing this to get o/s updates and CA updates. It
has to be by far the easiest and most standard way to distribute both
important bug fixes and security fixes. I don't see why this needs to be
any more complicated. Has there been any progress on this?
I still maintain that I should not have to go beyond the 2.4.0
installation instructions (and maintenance instructions when they are
available) to get my site functioning as fully as LCG needs. If that is
not true, the the problem is with LCG 2.4.0, not my site!
Cheers,
Simon
