  https://svn.nordugrid.org/repos/nordugrid/arc0/tags/0.6.1.1
To test 0.6.1.1 on your site you can enable the "testing" repository. The repositories are available for 26 systems:
 i386:
  Fedora 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
  Red Hat Linux 7.3,9
  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3,4,5
  OpenSuSE 10.1,10.2

  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3,4,5
  OpenSuSE 10.1,10.2
Working "standalone" packages are not yet available - this will be fixed for the final release.
Native Debian packages or at least tarballs will also be available later. ]]> http://www.nordugrid.org/ {1ebc9840-f613-11dc-95ff-0800200c9a66} Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:19:00 +0100 NorduGrid FTP server and repositories.
