2. Main Achievements
During this quarter there were a total of two releases for UMD-3 components ([1] 3.5.0) and ([2] 3.6.0) and one last release for UMD-2 ([3] 2.8.0). In total 24 products and sub-components were deployed and tested among then three new products: gridsafe, cream-slurm and finally the new lcg-utils package denominated gfal2. Also of notice is that even with ending of project on view the number of staged rollout reports was in-line with the last quarters with a Total Number of 36 on which 16 different components were tested spread over 12 sites.
To finalize along this quarter there was made linkseveral campaigns to gather new EA for some products like glexec and cream and also gathering EA for new products like slurm and the full QCG products.
Of relevance during this quarter was the issues found during the UMD 3 release process experienced with the latest Globus update (5.2.5), conflicting with the test installation of the products from the Release Candidate (RC). The release has been delayed some weeks in order to find a solution to the problem. The solution to the problem was to test the components individually before the RC so we could find the problematic rpm's.
Also important to mention the participation in the Middleware Readiness Working Group. The main goal on participating in this meeting its to Keep the dialog open between EGI and WLCG communities, maybe bridging the processes used in the two communities, i.e. by making available the testing versions for sites which are both WLCG and participate in the EGI Staged Rollout. With experiments' agreement to participated in such tests, we can help to make the UMD production versions available sooner. The meeting accoured during December and the main topics discussed were:
3. Issues and Mitigation
Issue Description | Mitigation Description |
---|---|
OpenSSL "Heartbleed" vulnerability | Follow this critical issue with Product teams and see if the updates does not broke the production infrastructure. |
4. Plans for the next period
