Pete, I think your messages are delivered on the acs-wg@ggf.org. One note is that the mailing list delivery is sometimes slow. Perhaps now is the busy time for GGF mail delivery, since the deadlines are close and WGs are preparing for it. (I remember the delay was more than 10 hours in the worst time, months ago.) If you have anything you don't see, send them to me so that I can forward them. "acs-wg@ggf.org" in the cc: should not be a problem. I can see your post. -Keisuke P.S. Thank you for appealing the acs-wg to the gt community:-) Ziu, Peter wrote:
Not all of my postings appear to be making it to acs-wg@ggf.org. The f2f (html) email also was dropped. I had to resend that as well. Did the below one not work because acs-wg was in the "cc" field?
Pete

Hi, Perhaps you would be interested in a specification being formulated called Application Contents Service. There work can be found at http://forge.gridforum.org/projects/acs-wg All are welcome who share this problem space and are seeking a solution.
Here is a blurb from their site:
... The Application Contents Service Working Group (ACS-WG) will focus on two main topics: a) Application Repository Interface (ARI), specifying repository service and its interface to Application Contents; and b) Application Archive Format (AAF), specifying archive format to register a set of Application Contents to the ACS as a unit. The Application Contents include application binaries and related information; e.g. program binaries, configuration data, procedure descriptions for lifecycle management, requirements descriptions for the hardware and underlying middleware, policy rules, and anything needed to create a task on grid systems. They may be real entities or location pointers. On the other hand, the Application Contents doesn't include information updated by a task and information describing a status of a task. ACS doesn't interpret or execute information in each content, rather it just manages them for use by other OGSA-services. ...

hi,

I have a question regarding installation of globus.
Is there a recipe or prescription for using a single compilation of gt4 on a number of different hosts, i.e. via installing into a shared NFS software tree or creating a RPM type installer?
Jens' messages might be helpful on how to create a shared installation over NFS: http://www-unix.globus.org/mail_archive/gt4-friends/2005/04/msg00199.html
Thanks, Catalin
At this point the we are compiling and installing gt4 anew for each new machine, even on the same platform.
What we'd like to be able to do is install into a general software tree, and then generate and place machine (i.e. hostname) specific files into a local "/etc/globus" or similar directory.
thanx for the info,
rob
