Hi Patrick,
Our initial thought was to keep the xrdcp regardless of what client library
is used. We can do that because the syntax is identical to both versions.
That can't be said for xrd and xrdfs which have very different syntax. So,
we would keep xrd as long as we support the old client library (at least 2
more years after the official new client release). I think it would be a
rude shock if we renamed xrdfs to xrd.

Subject: Longer term plans for xrd, xrdcp
Hi,
I take it that the xrdfs and xrdcopy commands are implementations of xrd and
xrdcp using the new client library. I need to write wrappers for these
types
of commands (also xrdadler32) and I am wondering if xrd and xrdcp will
continue
to exist in later releases, or if the new client library becomes the
standard
that xrdfs and xrdcopy will be renamed to xrd and xrdcp (respectively), or
if
both are expected to exist going forward?
Also is there is any documentation on xrd/xrdfs beyond the man page or
command help?
Regards,
Patrick
