That's what prompted me to propose the task (along with getting a job in grid computing). > There will be more coming for the ARC grid middleware (see > www.nordugrid.org). Good - can you mention these on debian science too when they arrive. > If there is anything I shall do about it then please tell me. There are a large number of globus packages. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, it may make sense for the globus maintainer to provide client and a server metapackages. A grid task could then depend upon these metapackages. > > If this is not about computational grids but about .. say .. some > geoinformatics bits, > then please rename the task :) :-) No, it's about computational grids.
