Introduction
The source and the binary distributions of the Grid middleware developed by the NorduGrid project are freely available from this site. The software is distributed under the GPL license. For stable system deployment, it is suggested to download packages from the stable channel. Untested tags also know as devel contain latest changes, but are not recommended to deploy on a production system. Nightly builds sometimes work.
Downloads:
- stable - Stable channel - useful for production
- testing - Testing channel - almost production
- devel - Development channel - latest tags
- old - Old stable channel - nobody should use this
- nightly - Nightly development builds - you are on your own!
