Re: [HTCondor-users] HTCondor-CE 6.0.0 Released

[Petr Vokac <petr.vokac@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

did I missed in your HTCondor-CE 6 documentation [1] important "detail" 
that you dropped support for GSI? I think it would be useful to add in 
documentation & release notes something like:

- dropped support for experiments that still relay on job submission 
with X.509 VOMS certificates
- support for EGI CheckIn tokens still not available in HTCondor-CE 6 
(may come only with HTCondor-CE 7?)

Could you add in documentation similar warning that's available for OSG 
3.6 [2] which warns site administrators about upgrades without talking 
first with experiments that use their resources.

Side note: ARC-CE doesn't have these problems with "legacy experiments" 
or EGI CheckIn token support. So ARC-CE will be the only supported CE 
implementation for these use-cases once HTCondor-CE 5 reaches it's EOL 
in May 2023 [3].
