CERN_PPS takes part to the process of deploying new CA releases, by running a set of tests on the newly distributed RPMs.
(see https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI_IGTF_Release_Process)
Namely, the site administrators at CERN PPS perform the following tests on the distribution, using both the installation methods (apt and yum):
Fresh installation of the rpms
Upgrade of the rpms (+ comparison with fresh installation)
Basic functionality test (job submission + lcg-utils)
As described in point 4 of the mentioned procedure
