Security support for glite3.2 has been extended until the end of
November. There was a broadcast yesterday about the deadline. I attached it.

Dear VO Managers and Site Administrators
I would like to inform you that the end of security support of the following
products:
- glite 3.2 glite-UI
- glite 3.2 glite-WN
- glite 3.2 glite-GLEXEC_wn
- glite 3.2 glite-LFC_mysql/glite-LFC_oracle
- glite 3.2 glite-SE_dpm_disk/glite-SE_dpm_mysql
was extended to 30/11/2012 (http://glite.cern.ch/support_calendar/).
The extension of security support of glite-WN has the purpose of allowing
more time to VOs for assessing the running of their computational jobs on EMI
1 (sl5) - released with UMD 1.0.0 [1], and EMI 2 WN (sl5/sl6) - released with
UMD 2.1.0 [2].
VOs are highly recommended to run tests in order to have a safe migration
from gLite to EMI. For instructions see the broadcast message
https://operations-portal.egi.eu/broadcast/archive/id/699 sent on
2012-07-19.
As VO readiness towards EMI 1 and 2 WN is still being assessed, site
administrators should *not* upgrade production WNs to EMI 1 or 2 until
further notice, unless there is confidence that the upgrade will not affect
application software of the supported VOs and there is an agreement with them.
As to DPM, an upgrade from gLite 3.2 to EMI/UMD is now possible without
re-installation as documented at [3]. Please contact the EGI helpdesk
(http://helpdesk.egi.eu/) for support.
Best wishes.
