Upgrading a factory to a new version of glideinWMS

Upgrading a factory configuration tree to a new version of glideinWMS can be done in two ways:

  • Installing the new glideinWMS code in a separate directory, and create a new configuration tree as explained above.
    The configuration file (glideinWMS.xml) of the existing configuration tree can be used as a base for the new one; only the glidein_ name needs to be changed. See the configuration page for more defaults.
  • Overwrite the glideinWMS installation and reconfig.
    If getting the code from CVS, a cvs update -r version will update the code.
    Warining: Check the revision history before doing this. Not all versions are compatible.

Which option you choose is really up to you; the second one is easier, but the first one is cleaner and easier to revert back.
