-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-0305 2012-01-11 05:14:51 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : grid-packaging-tools Product : Fedora 15 Version : 3.5 Release : 2.fc15 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jan 23 2012 Mattias Ellert <[email protected]> - 3.5-2 - Portability fixes * Tue Dec 13 2011 Mattias Ellert <[email protected]> - 3.5-1 - Update to version 3.5 - Drop patches implemented upstream * Fri Jun 17 2011 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 3.2-26 - Perl mass rebuild * Fri Jun 10 2011 Marcela Mašláňová <[email protected]> - 3.2-25 - Perl 5.14 mass rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
