The package.links file contain the list of values for @sys. Links go to a wrapper in common directory, which
magically re-direct to the appropriate binary. So, if you've created a softlink, say i386_rhel60 -> i386_linux2, then you might need to update the PACKAGE.LINKS file so that @sys will know about i386_rhel60. Every few hours a cronjob runs to pick up any new @sys names.
- cd /afs.slac.stanford.edu/package/java (the shadow directory)
- edit PACKAGE.LINKS (add the softlink to the @sys list, e.g. i386_rhel60)
- cd /afs/.slac.stanford.edu/package/build
- invoke /usr/local/bin/vos_release pkg.java
