Dear all, Debian and Fedora have the Globus 4 preWS packages already in their archives. I just talked back to Mattias from Uppsala and can now reliably report also the latest Globus 5 packaging already to have been done. It is basically a side-effort by the friendly NorduGrid folks. Please check out http://www.grid.tsl.uu.se/repos/globus/ for Globus 5 packages, both for Fedora and Debian. For those of you building the packages from source, I would like to point out that there is a build dependency on the very latest doxygen, which only find its way to the distributions now (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564703). It would help this list, so I presume, if you could give some feedback on how the packages worked for you. There should be no problem whatsoever, but if there is something you are missing or that is unclear then your report and the subsequent clarification(s) will help others. Cheers, Steffen
