The ETF is the "Engineering Task Force" which is essentially
a technical advisory group for the NGS, these days, but it
has a long(ish) history. http://www.grids.ac.uk/ETF/
(That web site is a bit out of date though)
Hm, it could be that Tim didn't recompile from source - but
I know some of the others - including David McB - had a lot
of "fun" recompiling DPM. The worst bit was the VOMS dependency.

Nah, I am not interested at all at how I can install i386 rpms on
a x86_64 system ;P

I don't even have an idea what ETF is....
In any case I now have preliminary x86_64 rpms for voms,gsoap,CGSI_gSOAP.
I am using the nordugrid globus4 rpms but I haven't managed to build them
on my own so far :( but at least they provide rpms *and srpms* for all the
major linux distributions (unlike other projects ;P) and I have DPM compiling
correctly but I don't have an rpm yet (I'll build one once I have a few minutes
free).
Now I need to find a machine to sacrifice and some time so I can do some
testing. I really hope it works better than DCache otherwise I wasted a day
of my life without reason.
Cheers,
Kostas
