Hello,
We here at Lancaster have been looking investigating our options for the Glite-3.0 upgrade. We'd like to use the redistributable tarball for our worker nodes, and plan to upgrade by using a clean install on each WN with the latest SL3 version, and having all the GLite gubbins installed at the same time (all through the use of a cunningly written kickstart file).
What I'm asking is are there any other packages (beyond those in SL3 or the tarball) that would be needed to be installed to make our WNs "complete". For example, at the moment our worker nodes when installed use apt to get the XFree86-devel package at the request of atlas. There is a "common dependencies" tarball that can be downloaded along with the glite WN one, does anyone have any experiance with how complete this tarball is?
Also I've had little luck finding documentation for the tarball (both through trawling the glite pages and consulting the Oracle of Google), so if anyone could point me towards any that would be grand. Any other advice with using the tarball or writing our kickstarts also gratefully recieved, I never pass up on free wisdom.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
