Prefer heptools/lcg_platform over binary_tag in manifest.xml
Since LBCORE-1048, the manifest.xml
file contains the field lcg_platform
which should be used by lb-run
to locate the root directory of LCG installations.
Using binary_tag
instead of lcg_platform
can cause a failure in the lookup (if they differ), but nobody ever noticed because the default value of LCG_releases_root
computed at compile time is perfectly fine.
I noticed the inconsistency by chance, when testing lb-run
with the new CMake configuration without the BINARY_TAG
environment variable.
