Dear all,
as you know there is some work going on in ATLAS to be ready for sites
that request it to move to CentOS7 if they need to. There is no pressure
or deadline to do a mass upgrade like we did for SL6. The statement from
ATLAS is still "not until LS2" (2018) but since most production
applications have demonstrated to work in compatibility mode and the
native application are now actively being worked on that stance can be
softened. Analysis doesn't work yet though I expect this problem to go
away with the native releases.
It would be useful to know how many sites will have to move, in the next
6 months to 1 year. ECDF has to move now and is acting as a guinea pig.
Lancaster said a queue will be setup before Xmas. Others?
cheers
