Hi All, Just for the record, just before the CHEP conference the ROOT team made the first ROOT build (4.01/02) with o a version of xrootd (20040907-0403) available out-of-the-box o the TXNetFile client plugin integrated into ROOT itself See: http://root.cern.ch/root/Version40102.news.html http://root.cern.ch/root/Version401.html >From this point on the TXNetFile client will be maintained within ROOT itself. For the server package the plan is that the latest stable version will be included each time a new ROOT version is made. This will insure that there is a working version of the server available out-of-the-box from ROOT itself. If you need the absolute latest version of the server package, you can always download it from the xrootd page itself: http://xrootd.slac.stanford.edu/ It will of course remain interoperable and backwards compatible with the client used from ROOT itself. Thanks to everyone who worked to pull all of this together....
