Meeting Minutes

  • XRootD 5.7.2 Released
    • Security advisory on std::regex to be made public on 13 Dec

  • XRootD Development
    • Plans for XRootD 5.8.0 Release
      • Will begin work to clean up CentOS 7 / Python 2 from repository
      • Client improvement presented at CHEP24 to also be included
      • Considering addition of an i686 build to ensure no breakage on 32bit platforms
        • Emulation with QEMU is normally slow, but 32bit build on AMD/Intel architecture is good compromise
      • Ideally would like to add OSG patches to official release in XRootD 5.8.0
        • OSS statistics/monitoring plugin
        • TLS deferred authentication

  • XRootD Website Updates
    • Dead links for documentation when coming from SLAC redirection
    • Potential solutions
      • Commit documentation files to git in the website repository (~1.2G, but 930M is for Doxygen)
      • Move to CERN's Openshift PAAS service, serve files with EOS, but use xrootd.org domain for it
      • Use an OpenStack VM hosting all files and point domain to it
      • Ideally will choose between the above before Q2 2025

  • A.O.B
    • FOSDEM abstract for an XRootD talk submitted, but unfortunately rejected
      • EOS and XRootD talks merged, to be presented by Abhishek from EOS team
    • Idea to prepare something for WLCG OTF #3 in February 2025
      • Performance tips for using XRootD/XCache in context of Analysis Facilities
