Hi Andy, I am sure that we are going to fall into the trap that some sites will automatically update the xrootd library due to the automatic yum update and then get jammed up. The cron job that updates many rpm's does not automatically exclude xrootd nor does the rpm that installs xrootd make xrootd not to be auto installed. In scientific linux the yum update cron is automatically installed. Actually I do not believe the real problem is the "we didn't make it clear enough that 3.2.1 didn't include the FRM fix.". The fact that frm is broken is the problem. Doug On May 13, 2012, at 3:01 PM, Andrew Hanushevsky wrote: > Hi Doug, > > The reason is that the release manager is out on vacation.

Also, the solution for real-time FRM sites is to stay at 3.1.1 or earlier to avoid both issues. That's a reasonable compromise given our time constraints. Our real problem was that we didn't make it clear enough that 3.2.1 didn't include the FRM fix. > > Andy > > On Sun, 13 May 2012, Doug Benjamin wrote: > >> Wei, >> >> I understand that bug fixed in 3.2.1 was extremely severe.
