GridPP DPM toolkit v2.3.9 released

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am proud to announce the release of the gridpp-dpm-tools package,
version 2.3.9.
It is available at the usual place:
http://www.sysadmin.hep.ac.uk/rpms/fabric-management/RPMS.storage/gridpp-dpm-tools-2.3.9-6.noarch.rpm

This version is an extra-special "GridPP Milestone" release, in that
it includes a mechanism for writing user-level storage consumption
data to a database, so that you can make nice graphs of them later.
(The graphmaking functionality exists as scripts now, and will be
released as a modification to the dpm monitoring rpm as soon as I make
the necessary changes + package it.)
You can enable user-level accounting on your DPM by following the
instructions just newly added to the GridPP wiki for the toolkit. (
http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/DPM-admin-tools#Installation )

Comments, bug reports, &c all (happily?) accepted. In particular, if
the user-level accounting doesn't work for you, I'd like to know about
it, since it's been happy here at Glasgow for the last couple of days.
