Status
SL7 at Zeuthen will become the default and recommended Linux version:
- Users and groups are encouraged to test their software packages for SL7-compliance
A test system is available: A virtual machine with an alias name of el7.zeuthen.desy.de has been set up with a WGS configuration. It is meant to be used for tests and development, not for running production jobs.
Another way to try SL7 is to use the Singularity container, which is possible on WGSs, compute nodes and even Linux desktops.
There are currently no plans to provide SL7-based desktop systems.
