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://repo.opensciencegrid.org/cadist/ Not all IGTF releases are necessarily accompanied by infrastructure-specific releases. If 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.
