<p>Folks,</p>
<p>I've tagged a new version of gluex_install, version 2.9. New
features added over the last six months or so include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Updates to support builds on Ubuntu 14.04 and 18.04 (16.04 had
not been tested).</li>
<li>The version set used is version_jlab.xml rather than
version.xml. This puts in "dirtags" to distinguish multiple
instances of a particular version of a package when each
instance of that package has built against different parent
packages.</li>
<li>Checks out a new repository: halld_versions. This contains all
of our version xml files for use with the new installation.</li>
<li>Implements new environment set-up files that define the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/JeffersonLab/build_scripts/wiki/gluex_env_boot_jlab.%28c%29sh">"gxenv"
and "gxclean" commands</a> in a way consistent with the
installation (i. e., when not at JLab).</li>
</ul>
<p>Find the release notes for 2.9 <a moz-do-not-send="true"
