Re: [HTCondor-users] htcondor-ce BDII

[Stephen Jones <sjones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

The trouble is that we might be going to have quite a few sites taking 
on HTCondor-CE in the UK, since the APEL accounting is now ready.

https://twikiai07.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/HtCondorCeAccounting

And CREAM will be gone in under two years.

For the time being, we will want that htcondor-ce-bdii package.

Will these 8.8.x and 8.9.x repositories have the full suite, including 
the bdii, or will we still need to make it from the source code?

Cheers,

Ste
