Test Releases of the ESG Replication Client

NOTE: The links to pages outside of this site might not be maintained anymore. There is nothing I can do about that.

This page contains links to documentation and distribution tarballs for the Earth Systems Grid Replication Client. It is intended only for the ESG testers and should not be used after the production release of the ESG software.

For general information about ESG, visit the ESG Federation wiki.

Generated Documentation

On-line documentation generated using the Epydoc utility are here. On-line documentation for the ESGCET Publication API that many of the replication functions call is at LLNL.

Known Issues

The following are the open bug reports relating to Replication as of the last edit of this page. Note that some may reflect issues with the underlying Publication API.

• Bug 63: Too many files added while creating catalog.
• Bug 64: No checksum being produced on the replica catalog. (Enhancement request)
• Bug 66: esgpublishreplica script is working with single datasets (Enhancement request)

New issues should be recorded and tracked in the ESGF Bugzilla system. The replication client is reported as part of the "publisher" category.

Easy Install Tarballs

Download the latest version (at the top of the list) and install using the easy_install command. Alternatively, let easy_install download and install by passing the URL directly to it.

• Adds the "--readfiles" option to esgpublisherplica.py as a partial accommodation to Bug 63.
• The Epydoc-encoded documentation updated as well as the README file.

Corrected imports of the lxml.etree library to replace the xml.etree.ElementTree import.
