glite-UI

Introduction of the User Interface
========================
This update introduces the glite-UI node type for SL5 x86_64. Unlike the gLite 3.1 UI, rgma client and edg-gridftp-client are no longer available on the gLite 3.2 UI.
Important note for glite-WN

Due to a problem of the versioning scheme used by VDT, upgrading an already existing gLite 3.2 WN fails. Using the updated command "yum groupupdate glite-WN" fails with an error message "package vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.10.1x86_64_rhap_5-1.x86_64 (which is newer than vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.10.1x86_rhap_5-3.i386) is already installed". The workaround is to uninstall the vdt_globus_essentials rpms manually:

rpm -e --nodeps vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.10.1x86_rhap_5-1 vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.10.1x86_64_rhap_5-1

Then do "yum groupupdate glite-WN".
