New CTA public releases

Dear CTA community,

We have made available two new versions of CTA in our stable repo:

Version 5.11.0.1-1 was deployed in production at CERN during the last week, in order to upgrade the catalogue schema version.
This was followed by the deployment of 5.11.2.0-1, today.

Both releases are exclusively Alma9.

Which version should I install?

  • If setting up CTA for the first time:
    • Install 5.11.2.0-1 directly.
  • If upgrading from a previous CTA version (more specifically, from 4/5.10.X.Y-Z):
    • First, install 5.11.0.1-1. This version is required to upgrade the CTA Catalogue version from 14.0 to 15.0 (for the instructions check the documentation on the automated update procedure).
    • After the CTA Catalogue schema migration is complete, install 5.11.2.0-1 to benefit from all the latest features and bug fixes.

Installation instructions:

Important:

  • These, and any other CTA releases, should be first tested in a safe environment before deploying into your production environment.

Hi Joao,

Thanks for this announcement.

Can I please confirm with you the EOS version that you have tested with above two CTA versions, 5.11.0.1-1 and 5.11.2.1-1?

Best,

George

Hi George,
in production we have been using eos 5.2.24 (CentOS7 and Alma9) and 5.2.27 (on Alma9 only).
On the EOS side at CERN everything is under Alma9 with eos 5.2.27.

Version 5.2.24 was the CentOS 7 to Alma 9 pivot version.

On Alma 9 you need to be careful with the openSSL version on the MGM: it must be > 3.2.2 to offer good X509 performance.

Best regards,
Julien Leduc
