REPEATED NOTICES
=========================================================================
Use in coordinated-deployment infrastructures
---------------------------------------------
If you are part of a coordinated-deployment infrastructure (e.g. a national
or regional e-Infrastructure, EGI, OSG, PRACE-RI, NAREGI or others) you may
want to await their announcement before installing the release. They could
include localised adaptations. For reference we include the links below:
PRACE-RI https://winnetou.surfsara.nl/prace/certs/
EGI https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI_IGTF_Release
wLCG https://lcg-ca.web.cern.ch
Open Science Grid https://software.grid.iu.edu/cadist/
Not all IGTF releases are necessarily accompanied by a infrastructure-specific
release. If the changes in the IGTF distribution do not materially impact the
distribution of the relying party, no associated release may be done, nor is
there a reason to update such a distribution.
Supplementary download locations
--------------------------------
The download repository is also mirrored by the APGridPMA at
https://www.apgridpma.org/distribution/igtf/
and by the EUGridPMA at
