#781 Change Linux 64-bit build system to RHEL 6.8

Sharon Lucas — Wed, 12 Apr 2017 21:06:56 -0000

Updated BuildSTAF.xml to specify the new Linux RHEL 6 64-bit system as the STAF build and test system for Linux 64-bit. Also, updated the 'osversion' to the kernel version of the new Linux 64-bit STAF build system to indicate that you must have kernel version 2.6.32-642 or later on your Linux system in order to use the binaries we provide in the STAF installer files for Linux 64-bit. This information is set in the install.properties file in the STAF installation directory (e.g. /usr/local/staf).

Change Linux 64-bit build system to RHEL 6.8

Sharon Lucas — Wed, 12 Apr 2017 20:36:31 -0000

The STAF Linux x86_64 build system (staf4g.austin.ibm.com) is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Release 5.11. The End of Life for RHEL 5 is March 30, 2017. So, must change to use RHEL 6. However, there isn't an easy upgrade path from RHEL 5 to RHEL 6.

So, need to set up a new VM, staflinux1.swg.usma.ibm.com, running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Release 6.8 as the new STAF Linux 64-bit build system.

In addition, staf4g was the FTP server for STAF builds. So, will need to setup a FTP server on another STAF system.

#415 Add Option to make STAF _NOT_ lookup hostnames

Sharon Lucas — Sat, 31 Dec 2016 23:00:06 -0000

In STAF V3.4.26 to be released at the end of December 2016.
