[MOBY-dev] NO buggy new biomoby release

[Rebecca Ernst]

Hey Mark!

Congratulations - you won a round of spanking ... You can spank Dirk and me.
Shame on us - the release you provided was as perfect as one would 
expect ;-)

The problem why the services didn't work anymore was because of one 
module (LoggingSubs.pm) which we use within Planet for logging of the 
services. This was (how ugly!) deployed in the moby-live directory. As 
the LoggingSubs.pm was not a part of the release this was missing and 
caused the services to fail.

The call to LS::ID didn't matter at all you can leave everything 
(although you might take the suggestions into account which I mentioned 
in the last mail)

Sorry again for suspecting you ;-)
Cheers!
Rebecca
