Patching CIAO 4.1 to CIAO 4.1.1

Downloading the Patch File

The CIAO 4.1.1 patch is available from the CIAO download pages. There is a single platform-independent patch file: ciao-4.1.1-tools.tar.gz .

Save the tarfile to a location that is accessible from where you wish to install CIAO and unzip it:

unix% gunzip /some/path/ciao-4.1.1-tools.tar.gz

Installing the Patch

The patch unpacks into the "ciao-4.1" directory where CIAO is installed. In our example, this directory is located within /soft/; if you do not recall where your root directory is, start CIAO and type:

unix% cd $ASCDS_INSTALL

unix% cd ..

unix% pwd
/soft/

From this directory, untar the patch file:

unix% tar xf /some/path/ciao-4.1.1-tools.tar.gz

Next, run the patch script:

unix% cd ciao-4.1/

unix% ./ciao_patch.sh

The script does not print any output. It moves the updated files to the $ASCDS_INSTALL/config/pimms/data/ directory and renames the old files to ".<filename>_CIAO_4.1".

The patch is now installed. When you start CIAO, the version number indicates this:

CIAO configuration is complete...
 CIAO version     :  CIAO 4.1.1 Wednesday, January 14, 2009
 Proposal Toolkit version :  Cycle 11 Friday, December 5, 2008

Clean Up the files

You may delete the tarfile from the original download directory:

unix% rm /some/path/ciao-4.1.1-tools.tar

If disk space is an issue, you can also run the ciao_cleanup.sh script to delete the files replaced by CIAO 4.1.1.

unix% pwd
/soft/ciao-4.1/

unix% ./ciao_cleanup.sh

This will delete about 7 MB of data.
