Well, tying yourself to any particular node is bad since the OS version will change without warning (shire05 is Solaris 5.8 which is outdated). As SLAC keeps systems identical other than OS release patch level, you can pick any shire based on the OS you need and work out of AFS. Some examples: shire01 - Solaris 5.10 shire05 - Solrais 5.8 flora01 - Solaris 5.9 flora02 - Solaris 5.10 (as are flora03 through flora05) So best to use the flora's as they are more current. > I think I can make an improved build structure for the autobuild.

OK, let me know when that is done. Andy
