Condor version

[fstagni]

The condor version that we are using is more than 3 years old (8.6.9: https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/version-history/stable-release-series-86.html#version-8-6-9). Would it be very challenging to bump it to the latest stable release (8.8.13)?

is it broken ? I can give it a shot (very low priority), or we wait for DIRACOS2

Let's see https://gitlab.cern.ch/CLICdp/iLCDirac/diracos-test/-/pipelines/2463895

I can't see these pipelines. What's the result?

[petricm]

I have problems, doing it now manual to debug

BTW, since the first post, it seems HTCondor released a new major version,

HTCondor version 9.0.1 released on May 17, 2021.

(see https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/version-history/stable-release-series-90.html) so this is what should be targeted.

At least in conda-forge updating from 8.9.7 -> 8.9.8 involved changing the sysroot to be CentOS 7 instead of CentOS 6 to avoid:

src/condor_tools/nsenter.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
src/condor_tools/nsenter.cpp:215:10: error: 'setns' was not declared in this scope
  215 |  int r = setns(fd, 0);
      |          ^~~~~

Well that would mean that unless there is a way to disable namespace support in condor build, we can't have that version in DIRACOS1
