HTCondor Ports and OS Distribution Specifics
HTCondor is a popular batch scheduling system and subsequently has been ported to many operating system and architecture combinations. This table tracks the OS distributions where the latest stable and development series of HTCondor has been ported, where we know it will be binary compatible, where we predict it will be, the status of some ports that have been repeatedly requested, and where all ports in any branch--released or not, exist. The aim of this table is to help the user of HTCondor determine the right version to ultimately download for their particular OS. Each row starts with a basic identifier of the distribution and architecture, followed by information about it, followed by multiple ports.
Also, Linux has been especially challenging for HTCondor for mainly two reasons: 1) there are many distributions and no clear winner--and there might not ever be, and 2) often a minor version release or update for a Linux distribution will contain significant version changes for system libraries, kernels, and applications all of which can greatly affect HTCondor. The more popular Linux distributions are represented here along with known compatibility of the native builds of HTCondor under certain distributions of Linux to other distributions of Linux. We strive to use binary compatibility between distributions instead of producing natively compiled Linux ports because it keeps the cost of supporting so many Linux variations down. Toward this aim, many aspects of a distribution of linux are encoded into the table to give the user the best chance of finding a match with their particular system.
Please be aware that the format and meaning of these tables could change in future and the table is usually slightly out of date due to the rate of various OS releases.
