Sorry John, that reminds me-- I wanted to make a comment but the
discussion (and the mic) went elsewhere, and then I ran out of time and
had to go.
You asked if it might be possible for the experiments to pack their
agents/services for easy install via rpm. I would say this is possible,
but with issues:
Taking the example of PhEDEx, our local CMS guys take time fiddling
small glue scripts that allow PhEDEx to access whatever local
combination of storage tech and transfer tool exist. We find that there
is significant variation in site setups that mean that we can't simply
provide 2 or 3 out-of-the-box solutions.
I just raise this is it might be a complicating issue for easy
installation of services.
Thanks,
Tim
