I suggested something along the proposed lines, of publishing the WN
metapackage version as a software tag.
Having only just got round to playing with 64-bitness, I've found a bit of
a flaw: the 32-bit and 64-bit flavours of the same WN update have
completely different version numbers!
e.g. for 32-bit middleware,
16.10.2008 - 3.1 Update 34
glite-WN 3.1.21-0
but on 64-bit
16.10.2008 - 3.1 Update 34
glite-WN 3.1.9-0
Of course, the latter looks somewhat familiar, as in 32-bit-land we've
already had
07.04.08 - 3.1 Update 18
glite-WN 3.1.9-0
As this still seems to me to be the sanest way to do this (publishing
software environment details in
GlueHostApplicationSoftwareRunTimeEnvironment !!!) I think the middleware
versioning will need to be made uniform across platforms...
Thanks
Henry
