[HTCondor-users] Changes in configuration: 8.6.13 to 8.8.12

[jcaballero.hep@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi,


We are in the process of upgrading our Central Managers from version
8.6.13 to 8.8.12.
As expected,there are a few changes in the configuration. In
particular in the default settings. Some of the previous ones are
gone, some new ones have appeared.

I have already filtered a bunch of variables that don't apply to a
Linux-based Grid site.
But I still have a list of variables to inspect.

While I check the RELEASE NOTES, I was wondering if the developers, or
someone who has done this upgrade recently, has any advice on which
variables I should focus on, which new values should be replaced back
by previous ones in order to keep functionalities, etc.
I am just concerned that some of the new defaults may change
drastically the behaviour of our pool.

Here [1] is the reduced diff, and here [2] is a link to a temporary
google doc with the same content in an easier to read format :)


Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers,
Jose
