Over all a much stabler release pack, a good indication we are marching towards a 1.0. Here are some tests I did:
* svn export https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airavata/0.6/RC4/ * verified all signatures: for file in `find . -type f -iname '*.asc'`; do gpg --verify ${file}; done Got the success message: gpg: Signature made Fri Jan 25 22:04:52 2013 EST using DSA key ID C659C4E7 gpg: Good signature from "Saminda Wijeratne (CODE SIGNING KEY) <[email protected]>" Note: I previously had Saminda's keys in my keyring. If not you will need to first download them. * Followed the two quick start tutorials -http://airavata.apache.org/documentation/quickstart-tutorials.html * Successfully ran the simple math, complex math workflows. * The levenshtein distance sample workflow fails, I creates a issue (AIRAVATA-745), but we can probably ignore this as lot of other tutorial examples work. The idea with these tutorials is anyway to convey the concept. * Configured grid credentials and ran a workflow on Trestles Cluster. One issue I have seen is the Application Services do not get refreshed after we register a application. This is an inconvenience but does not warrant a resin. I updated the tutorial instructions to do the manual refresh. I will vote my + 1.
