Hi All,
SLAC/SCS is pushing very hard to discontinue use of RH72 and hence the
development build announced today will be the last xrootd build for which
I will make binary tarballs and an rpm available for RH72.
I was continuing to do this mostly as I knew that there were sites (e.g.
CNAF) which still had server machines running RH73. Have those machines
been migrated to SL? Does anybody have any RH72/RH73 server machines left?
(I'd strongly encourage you to migrate.)
I guess ROOT may still support RH7x? While I'll not do binary builds of
xrootd and probably won't (at SLAC, at least) have access to RH7x machines,
I can probably do occasional build tests on SL3 with gcc2.95.3, say, which
should catch many of the problems that come up.
(BTW, does anybody know what the current time-out date is for support
of RH73 at CERN? I seem to have lost track of that...)
Pete
