Hi Catalin,
I use the upstream cvmfs puppet module
(https://github.com/cvmfs/puppet-cvmfs), which is using this variable
presently.
For every cvmfs mount, it adds an entry to the CVMFS_REPOSITORIES
variable inside /etc/cvmfs/default.local
In any case I'll remove any gridpp.ac.uk entries from this list for our
site.
Regards,
Matt
