has been released and is currently being tested by LHCb. It contains the following changes

    - fastjet 2.4.2p1, for the windows version we will need a tester <- action Hubert
    - problem with slc5 runtime environment, Stefan will provide a test and provide it to Hubert <- action Stefan,Hubert


Python2

After discussion with the GD team it was found that some grid applications are started with the ltieral "python2" command. This is not available in the AA package and thus the system one will be used. In order to overcome this problem a symlink in Python 2.5.4p2 has been provided.

Tar balls

Hubert reported that some tarballs still contain tar.gz and rpm files, these have to be excluded from the AA provided tar files <- action Stefan
