Hey Alain,

In our efforts to allow the GIP to be more flexible (i.e., not tied
down to a certain packaging), we have made the entire package
relocatable depending on the value of $GIP_LOCATION.

For the next packaging candidate, can you make the following changes
to the environment:

1) export GIP_LOCATION=$VDT_LOCATION/gip
2) Add $GIP_LOCATION/bin to $PATH

Thanks,

Brian and the GIP folks

An RPM to go with an SE installation? I don't have a new GIP yet, but I went ahead and made the change for the upcoming VDT 1.10.1, which we hope to release in less than two weeks. If I want for the new release, I might forget. So it's done. When should I expect a new GIP from you? Can you fix configure_gip when you give it to me? There's a small typo: It says: stat($globus_location) or die "Error can't access $gip_location\n"; But it should say: stat($globus_location) or die "Error can't access $globus_location\n"; That is, the error message prints the wrong directory name. I'll resolve this ticket since it's done. Thanks, -alain ----------------------------------------------------------------- Alain Roy vdt-support@opensciencegrid.org VDT Support http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/support.html

Hey Alain,

No other packaging planned at this time - the best thing about having
a relocatable root is testing, actually. By switching around
$GIP_LOCATION, I can go between svn and VDT version in a snap - and
can easily instruct others to do so too.

I have committed your fix in both trunk and the 1.0 branch. I believe
we're ready for another beta, but if we can have a little more time
between now and 1.10.1, I'd be happy.

Brian
