==================================================

Aaron
thanks for this big step forward, the situation improved greatly as of your 
1.37 release
I was also able to setup a new PLC from scratch and to have one node 
installed
The PACKAGE_SOURCE trick worked fine and I could run setup_plc.sh in some 
30+ minutes which is still way better than the 12 hours yesterday.
Unfortunately I cannot stay any longer today, will go on tomorrow with 
uploading a key, and I'll see whether I can reproduce Renault's issue
thanks - thierry

> Today I tested and checked in some changes that should fix a number of
> the issues with the node install (using the built cd image to install a
> node off of the new boot server).
>
> There are also a number of new items:
> - Rather than pull the rpms off of the boot server everytime, if the
> script is going to be run numerous times, you can setup your own http
> server with the rpms, and have the script pull from there. This will be
> faster, and won't overload the current boot server. The values in the
> config file are: PACKAGE_SOURCE and PACKAGE_SOURCE_RATE_LIMIT
> - Most of the email addresses that refer to the real support address
> should now be changed up sucessfully running the script. The new default
> addresses are now root@<serverhostname>.

> From scratch, I was able to run the script to bring up a new PLC, then

> that does remain to be added is the default root key placed on the node
> is still the master node root key. To change this, update the file
> /planetlab/plc_www/PlanetLabConf/keys.php before installing a node.
