Dear All,
Did anyone find the tarball distribution for the glite 3.0 upgrade.
On http://glite.web.cern.ch/glite/packages/R3.0/R20060502/ there
is:
"combined gLite and LCG Standard Worker Node (WN)" in rpm form
but only: "gLite only Standard Worker Node (WN)" as tarball.
What should William install if he want to install via the tarball.
I did not seen any announcement on lcg-rollout about the tar ball
distribution.
Cheers, Olivier.
