Athena Release Maintenance and Kit Install


There are several scripts and mechanisms available for the maintenance of athena releases at UVic.

getrelease.sh
location:/hepuser/atlas/atlas-kit/getrelease.sh (cvsview)

It will download and install a release via pacman to the atlas-kit directory. The purpose of the script is to install new atlas distribution kits in a place usable by everyone.

pacmanupdate.sh
location: /net/pacman/scripts/pacmanupdate.sh (cvsview)

 It is run nightly to mirror the cern pacman cache to UVic (done via rsync). The purpose of the script is to make the install of new kits faster by eliminating the download over the connection to cern.

getreleaseLaptop.sh
location: /hepuser/atlas/atlas-kit/getreleaseLaptop.sh (cvsview)

Can be run on any Scientific Linux machine to install an atlas distribution kit onto a stand alone machine. It will download and install pacman and proceed with the download and install of the atlas-kit. The target audience of this script is someone wishing to install the kit on their laptop over ethernet.
