General instructions for managing software

• FIFE instructions

  • The files for the repository are found in /cvmfs/larsoft.opensciencegrid.org.
    • They are initially read-only until a transaction is started.
  • Do cvmfs_server transaction larsoft.opensciencegrid.org to initiate a transaction.
    • This makes the repository writable.
    • If there was a transaction already under way the command will inform you.
  • Update files in /cvmfs/larsoft.opensciencegrid.org.
    • If you make a mistake, all changes can be discarded and the transaction aborted by running cvmfs_server abort larsoft.opensciencegrid.org.
  • Do cvmfs_server publish larsoft.opensciencegrid.org.
    • This processes all the changes, makes them part of the published repository, and makes the repository read-only again.
  • Updates should then appear on worker nodes typically within a half hour, but sometimes it will be longer if the update was large or if the Stratum 1 is busy with doing a large update of another repository.
