Hi Pete, RAL is also currently running RH7.2/3 on the disk servers. There is a project to replace it with SL but I'm not sure what the timescale is likely to be. We'll build from the source RPM for the production releases as long as that works. Yours, Chris. > -----Original Message----- > From: [log in to unmask] > [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of > Peter Elmer > Sent: 31 August 2005 14:54 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Discontinuing xrootd binary tarball and rpm for RH72 > > 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.
