Luca M:

Sorry, unfortunately I would not be able to join this meeting, here a short update from my side.
On the 12th April we organised a dedicated meeting to follow up between experts (EOS, XRootD, DM clients) the current libcurl memory leak issue in XRootD on CentOS7.

During the meeting we agreed that a patch will be provided to XrootD5, targeting release 5.2 (thanks a lot to Brian B. for his rapid development of the patch). This patch will enable XRootD to automatically build and load a bundle certificate leading to an expected leak of only 350 bytes per transfer.

On the EOS operational side we are currently targeting for the roll out of EOS version 5 with the latest XRootD 5 release. This will allow to roll-out in our production cluster the patch with the next EOS release.

We are also currently evaluating if it will be necessary to port the patch back to XRootD version 4.
