Ideas for simplification of external dependencies

• glite-data_R_3_1_35_1.runtime.dependencies: runtime dependencies

CGSIgSOAP

CGSI_gSOAP depends on: Globus GSI, voms-api-c, voms-api

LFC, DPM

• LCG-DM depends on: CGSI-gSOAP, swig, mysql-devel, Oracle Pro*C
• DPM-DSI : LCG-DM (replaces DPM-gridftp-server)

Pro*C is a heavy dependency, but it would be hard to factor it out without a major rewrite of the DB handling codes.

Using gSOAP 2.7 instead of gSOAP 2.6.2 (done in v1.6.6)

There is an ongoing work on a common rfio package with CASTOR. In preparation for this we will modularize the LFC/DPM build to separate the common (misc, security, rfio) libraries, that they could be easier replaced later on.

GFAL, lcg_util

Using gSOAP 2.7 instead of gSOAP 2.6.2 (done in the last release).

• GFAL: dcap,CGSI-gSOAP,LCG-DM, LDAP (CVS name: org.glite.data.gfal)
• lcg_util: dcap,CGSI-gSOAP,GFAL (CVS name: org.glite.data.dm-util)

ServiceDiscovery

• service-discovery.api-c
• service-discovery.bdii-c: service-discovery.api-c, globus/ldap Should depend on non-Globus LDAP libs
• service-discovery.cli service-discovery.{api-c,bdii-c,file-c}
• service-discovery.file-c service-discovery.api-c, glib2-devel

The UK cluster is working on creating a new, more complex SD interface (having a query language), which we are not likely to upgrade to, unless it is proven to be

• efficient
• easy to use
• well tested
• supports file(testing) and BDII(production) back-ends

Some common parts

• common: tomcat, mockobjects, wsi-test-tools, joram, security.util-java
• util-c: glib2-devel,service-discovery.api-c,gridsite-core
• config-service: xalan-c (which depends on xerces-c) Should be replaced by the simpler libxml2. Should replace log4cpp by log4cxx.

DMEDS

• catalog-interface: axis
• catalog-api-c: catalog-interface, CGSI-gSOAP --> we only use HTTPS, so we should drop CGSI-gSOAP
• catalog-cli: util-c,catalog-api-c,glib2-devel
• hydra-cli: catalog-cli,io-client --> io-client is being replaced by gfal
• hydra-service: common, catalog-interface, mm-mysql

catalog-interface is a heavy interface and Hydra only uses a fraction of. We shall separate the ones used by Hydra to make the build lighter. We should actually update the WSDL to be completely WSI compliant.

FTS

• srm-api-c: CGSI-gSOAP
• srm2-api-c: CGSI-gSOAP
• agents-common: config-service , service-discovery.api-c, boost, myproxy, mysql-devel, oracle, python
• srm-util-cpp: srm-api-c, srm2-api-c,agents-common, boost
• transfer-url-copy: srm-util-cpp, globus-gridftp, boost
• transfer-agents: agents-common, transfer-url-copy, config-service, python, oracle, boost
• transfer-proxy-renewal: agents-common, config-service, security.proxyrenewal, oracle, boost

• transfer-catalog-fireman: catalog-api-c --> it should be phased out

• delegation-api-c: security.delegation-interface, CGSI-gSOAP --> we only use HTTPS, so we should drop CGSI-gSOAP
• delegation-cli: util-c, delegation-api-c --> once we use a project common gSOAP version these delegation-* components would merge into the security subsystem
• transfer-interface: axis --> axis is only needed for WSDL updates
• transfer-api-c: transfer-interface, CGSI-gSOAP --> we only use HTTPS, so we should drop CGSI-gSOAP
• transfer-api-java: transfer-interface
• api-perl
• transfer-api-perl: api-perl, transfer-interface
• transfer-cli: util-c, transfer-api-c, delegation-cli

• api-js: axis
• transfer-api-js: api-js,transfer-interface
• tomcat-monitor
• transfer-scripts
• transfer-fts: jug, transfer-interface, common, transfer-api-js, tomcat-monitor, security.delegation-interface, security.delegation-java

To be phased out with their dependencies

• glite-data-io-*: [many, mostly internal dependencies]
• catalog-common: catalog-interface, common
• catalog-api-js: api-js,catalog-interface
• catalog-service-fr: oracle-instantclient,jug,catalog-interface,common
• catalog-service-fr-mysql: mm-mysql,catalog-interface,common,catalog-api-js
• catalog-service-meta: common, catalog-interface, mm-mysql
• catalog-api-java: catalog-interface
• catalog-api-perl: api-perl
• edg-rls-api-perl: api-perl
• globus-rls-api-perl:
• ui: gpt,globus,cctools,io-client,catalog-cli
