Ops meeting *************** - gLite 3.1.0 PPS Update18 was released to pre-production on Wednesday: It has passed the pre-deployment test and it is currently being deployed to the full PPS: The update contains: * 64bit versions of SE_dpm_mysql/_disk * dcache now installs with yum install (not groupinstall) * bdii v. 3.9.1-5 * yaim-core update * support for SGE CEs - release of gLite 3.1 Update14 to production in preparation.
