Name : globus-gram-client-tools
Product : Fedora EPEL 4
Version : 10.0
Release : 3.el4
URL : http://www.globus.org/
Summary : Globus Toolkit - Job Management Tools (globusrun)
Description :
The Globus Toolkit is an open source software toolkit used for building Grid
systems and applications. It is being developed by the Globus Alliance and
many others all over the world. A growing number of projects and companies are
using the Globus Toolkit to unlock the potential of grids for their cause.
The globus-gram-client-tools package contains:
Job Management Tools (globusrun)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update to Globus Toolkit 5.2
Many of the changes implemented by upstream in this release, such as the removal of the flavour tags in the library names and the support for standard installation paths, were already present in the Fedora packages of earlier releases using patches. This update is backwards compatible and does not introduce any soname bumps.
The most important change is the handling of threads. In earlier releases the threading model was chosen at compilation time, and the model used by the libraries in Fedora and EPEL was using pthreads. In this release the threading model is instead chosen at runime, either by using API calls or by setting environment variables. The default model in the new release is the forking model, but also the pthread model is available.
In order to preserve the behaviour of applications linked to previous versions, versioned symbols have been introduced so that the new libraries will switch to the pthread threading model automatically when used by applications that were linked to earlier versions.
Upstream's release notes are available here:
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/5.2/5.2.0/rn/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use
su -c 'yum update globus-gram-client-tools' at the command line.

Product : Fedora EPEL 4
Version : 3.5
Release : 2.el4
URL : http://www.gridpackagingtools.com/
Summary : Grid Packaging Tools (GPT)
Description :
GPT is a collection of packaging tools built around an XML based
packaging data format. This format provides a straight forward way to
define complex dependency and compatibility relationships between
packages. The tools provide a means for developers to easily define the
packaging data and include it as part of their source code distribution.
Binary packages can be automatically generated from this data. The
packages defined by GPT are compatible with other packages and can be
easily converted.
