sPHENIX discussion of software

[pinkenburg <pinkenburg AT bnl.gov>]

Hi Bing,

sorry, that one was a victim of the straightening out of our OSG cvmfs 
volumes which had sphenix.sdcc.bnl.gov in a lot of configuration and 
text files. I put the previous version in place and will modify the copy 
scripts to leave this one alone. I just triggered the release - in 15 
minutes it should work again.

Sorry about that

Chris

P.S. Good catch with the force_base, if that had happened that would 
have been really hard to debug , that's also fixed by now
