[SAC] PEER1 and Telascience server roles

[shawn barnes]

Martin,

The core of the system is updated via peer1 admin's and a cron script
using peer1's up2date rpm repository.  Anything beyond that is a manual
update by us read, anything that wasn't installed via up2date. 

Software that was installed via up2date
  * apache  (httpd-2.0.52-28.ent.i386) 
      * postfix (postfix-2.2.10-1.RHEL4.2.i386)
      * php     (php-4.3.9-3.22PIDH.i386)
      * python  (python-2.3.4-14.3.i386)
      * mailman (mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.5.i386)

Software installed that wasn't available via up2date (either didn't
exist in there repo or wrong version for our needs).

RPM installed
      * MySQL-client-standard-5.0.27-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
      * MySQL-server-standard-5.0.27-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
      * MySQL-devel-standard-5.0.27-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
      * MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.27-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
      * clearsilver-0.10.1-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
      * sqlite-2.8.16-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
      * python-clearsilver-0.10.1-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
      * python-sqlite-1.0.1-12.el4.rf.i386.rpm
      * subversion-1.4.3-0.1.el4.rf.i386.rpm
      * mod_dav_svn-1.4.3-0.1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

Source installed
  * dupal-4.7.4
  * phpldapadmin-0.9.8.3
  * trac-0.10.3

The initial idea was to use as much as possible from peer1 up2date repos
to minimize the effort for updating and patching.  But, we are talking
about a redhat enterprise 4 system which doesn't 'always' have the
needed versions available.
