Upgrading Condor

This page is intended to describe to the Condor administrator how to upgrade the Condor binaries to a newer release of Condor.

First of all, run condor_version in the terminal to determine the current version of the Condor system. As of this writing (8/13/12), the Condor system runs version 7.8.1.

Download Condor source code into ''src'' directory
Compile Condor source with target architecture into ''release'' directory
Configure Condor on head node (''john'')
Redirect release symbolic link from old to new release version
Update Condor Wiki
Update Condor Manual

After updating Condor, download a copy of the corresponding Condor manual in PDF format. Then, copy that PDF file to the /var/www/html/condor/manual/ folder on condor.cs.wlu.edu (aka john.cs.wlu.edu) to make the manual available to the world as a URL with the format http://condor.cs.wlu.edu/condor/manual/condor-V7_8_1-Manual.pdf .
