Hi Heather,

If you had to install an LDM _today_, then the answer is yes.  If you
can wait until Monday (sometime), then the answer is no especially if
you intend to build/use the included NOAAPort ingest package.  Hopefully
by COB on Monday LDM v6.12.6 will be available for download.  v6.12.6
includes a code mod from the NWS that will be needed to correctly
process (categorize) the HRRR and ESTOFS model data that will be added
to the NOAAPort SBN as early as September 23 (but we have seen at least
one email that suggests that these data will be added in October).

Yes.

It should work with no problems... we were using v6.12.5 on our test NOAAPort
ingest machine during the recent stress tests of the new, expanded NOAAPort
broadcast, and everything looked good.

I would suggest that you wait until sometime on Monday so that you don't
have to build and install the newer LDM version right after installing
the current one.  Given how easy it is to install the LDM, however,
doing a new install would not be much of a chore (lots of folks like to
install the latest version before the ink dries on its announcement).

While I have your attention, I can tell you that we have already cut over
to using LDM v6.12.6 on our two "operational" NOAAPort ingest machines.
Assuming that there are no hiccups over the weekend, we will cut over to
the new, expanded NOAAPort broadcast on these machines on Monday morning
and then make an announcement to that effect to the ldm-users and noaaport
email lists.

re:
> Thanks!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
