Uploading packages to a PROOF environment

ROOT
1

Hello Rooters,

to use user defined librays under PROOF it is necessary to build a package
and upload it via a rootd.

Now my questions is, if it is possible to specify the port number of the rootd other than the default as one can do when using TNetFiles:

gProof->Upload(“root://localhost:1096//…/…/package.par”)

Cheers,
Carsten.

Hi Carsten,

Unfortunately this is not possible and I do not see an easy way to get around this.

However, we have already committed in CVS a modification to UploadPackage that uses the same open channel to upload the file (instead of TFTP), so that you do not need anylonger a rootd running on each of the cluster nodes.
If you can use the CVS head, this should solve your problem.

Cheers, Gerri
