Dear EGEE ROCS and Sites,
EGEE gLite development and deployment would like to make further
simplifications to the deployment and configuration of gLite components
by a closer following of distribution specific packaging
guidelines to exploit the distributions' standards.
The most visible changes for Redhat and Debian derivative distributions in this process would be:
i) Changing the current /opt/glite prefix to /usr
ii) Packages will place files in /etc/cron.d/ , /etc/logrotate.d/ , etc ..
Would you support this idea?
Please provide your site's comments and questions to Steve Traylen preferably collated via your ROC managers. A positive response for change will result in both a rewrite of the existing gLite Developers guide containing the exact details and a plans for timescale.
