[Halld-offline] OS upgrade for gluons

[Alexander Austregesilo]

Dear Colleagues,

Today, all RHEL9 machines in the counting house (gluon50, gluon150-159, 
gluonraid7) were upgraded to RHEL 9.5, which comes with a new default 
compiler gcc11.5.0. We also included all necessary packages to run the 
GlueX software stack in the package manager 'puppet'. Big thanks to 
Wesley Moore for this intervention.

I installed the full software stack from scratch in

 > /gluex/software/gluex_RHEL95_top/

If you are not using the hdops account, you can set up the default 
environment on the new nodes with

 > source /gluex/software/gluex_RHEL95_top/gluex_env_boot.csh
 > gxenv

Sorry if this caused any interruption for the commissioning. Please let 
me know if you have any remaining issues.

Best regards,

Alex
