[Brahms-dev-l] Fwd: [Rhic-rcf-l] ***REMINDER: RCF BRAHMS RCAS/RCRS Farm OS Upgrade

Dear collaborator,


Please note the upgrade schedule for the BRAHMS machines on Wednesday.
Together with Chris Hollowell we checked a few more things today by  
upgrading rcas0067 today, so rootd and proof
could be checked out - after some trial and errors it seems to work.  
Thus I do not expect any show stoppers.
