The question is whether anybody has told the users that this command would be deprecated (or perhaps be replaced by "xrdfs")? * "xrd" is part of "xrootd-client" (i.e not some "-legacy" package name) * "xrd" does not emit any "I am deprecated, use 'xrdfs'"-warnings at runtime * "man xrd" does not indicate this is deprecated either * https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/v4.8.1/docs/ReleaseNotes.txt does not seem to mention "xrd" Even if all of these were different, we'd still have to deal with hardcoded legacy usage (e.g by experiments) and negotiate a phaseout (the crashes seem to have been from interactive use). But for now I don't think the average user has any idea that they should not use this command. For "xrdcp" (which I guess was in a similar situation), the new "xrdcopy" became again "xrdcp" in 4.0, but not so for "xrd"/"xrdfs". -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
