Description
The External Software Service of the LCG SPI project provides
open source and public domain packages required by the LCG
projects and experiments. Presently, more than 50 libraries
and tools are provided for a set of platforms decided by the
architect forum. All packages are installed following a standard
procedure and are documented on the web.
A set of scripts has been developed to ease new installations.
In addition to providing these packages, a software configuration
management "toolbox" is provided, containing a coherent set of
package-version combinations for each release of a project, as well
as a distribution script which manages the dependencies of the LCG
projects such that users can easily download and install a release
of a project including its depended packages. Emphasis here has
been put on ease of use for the end-user.
