Please backport condor 7.8.1~dfsg.1-1 (universe) from quantal

Please backport condor 7.8.1~dfsg.1-1 (universe) from quantal to precise.

Reason for the backport:
========================
Hi

I would like to get this software backported to Ubuntu 12.04 as it is an LTS version.
Usually systems employing gridcomputing (e.g. using condor) would need a stable, longtime supported system.

Best regards,
Hermann

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise condor

* precise:
[ ] Package builds without modification
[ ] condor-doc installs cleanly and runs
[ ] libclassad3 installs cleanly and runs
[ ] condor-dev installs cleanly and runs
[ ] condor installs cleanly and runs
[ ] condor-dbg installs cleanly and runs
[ ] libclassad-dev installs cleanly and runs

No reverse dependencies

I've uploaded this package to my PPA (ppa:micahg/ppa). Feel free to perform the testing on that package once it has built there.

The backport in Micah's PPA is very helpful. Thank you! I hope this gets incorporated into the precise-backports repository.

Everything installs cleanly and runs on my 12.04.1 x64 system.

Howevr, a couple configuration values (FileSystemDomain and UidDomain) as reported by the daemons were listed as "Undefined" instead of matching the value in the configuration file (should have been $(FULL_HOSTNAME)). This meant that the condor daemons refused to run any jobs. I worked around this problem by changing the line in /etc/hosts from:
  127.0.1.1 <my-hostname-here>
to
  <my-external-ip> <my-hostname-here>

I suspect this bug may arise from a bad interaction between condor and Ubuntu in my situation with a static IP and a hostname that matches the DNS record for the IP.
