gx-install-cadesc [options] filename
gx-install-cadesc, part of the gx-map system, is an administrative command. It installs a new set of cadesc files from a specified tarball.
Option processing is done using the Perl Getopt::Long module.
Options may be specified with a single or double leading '-' character. Option names may be abbreviated to whatever is unique. Arguments may be separated either by a blank or by an '=' character. For example, ``-foobar 42'', ``--foobar=42'', and ``-foob 42'' would all be equivalent.
By default, the tarball is installed in the current gx-map installation directory.
The gx-map package, and particularly the gx-ca-update command, uses a set of cadesc files, installed in the etc/gx-map/ca-config subdirectory of the gx-map installation directory. Each cadesc file contains information
The gx-install-cadesc renames this directory (thus saving any cadesc files you may have modified>, then unpacks a new set of files into the etc/gx-map/ca-config directory.
The newest set of cadesc files can be found on the gx-map web page <http://users.sdsc.edu/~kst/gx-map/> and/or ftp site <ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/sdsc/globus/software/gx-map/>. The cadesc files are packaged in a tarball with a name of the form gx-map-cadesc-MMMM-DD-YY.tar.gz. (Each tarball is accompanied by a PGP signature.)
