Hi Darren,

Just a question: why you do not stick with the cvmfs repository? There is ‘lsst.in2p3.fr’ repository (maintained at Lyon and replicated by Stratum1 at RAL) where I’d assume all software should be provisioned from.

Is this code you’re talking about only interesting the UK sites? In this case you may want to have another (UK regional) ‘lsst’ CVMFS repository.

Anyway we at RAL have the policy to install a minimal distribution on our WNs (and git is not part of it), assuming the VOs are provisioning their software via CVMFS.

Subject: [Gridpp-Dirac-Users] Sites with git

Hi there,

I’m working with LSST folks in Southampton who have code that is updated quite regularly. A while ago, I tested to see whether git could clone at time of execution (I cannot remember which site this was at), and it was a success. However, RAL does not have git installed, as similar code fails at that site. I’ve asked this before and didn’t really get a full answer. Is there any way of knowing which sites have which software installed? It would save new users a lot of pain when trying to get up and running, or even just testing. 

Cheers

Darren
