@qliphy , @perrotta currently in 12.3.X we have xrootd version 5.4.1. Should we also backport 5.4.2 from 12.4.X ?

@smuzaffar Upon other requests, we plan to cut next 12_3 release quite soon (probably today). So probably it is fine to stay with 5.4.1 unless @dmytro has any concern here.

@smuzaffar @qliphy this PR is indeed the main reason to have 12_3 cut as soon as possible, Therefore, if there is anything missing that can be useful at T0, better to have it merged sooner than later. Therefore, I'd stick on whatever @dmytro and the T0 crew consider the more appropriate. (And yes, if there are no preferences about it, I'd go for the fastest option).

+externals
next external xrd-record built fine. There is nothing in cmssw which uses it so it is safe to merge

[cmsbuild]

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next IB/CMSSW_12_3_X/master IBs after it passes the integration tests. This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @perrotta, @dpiparo, @qliphy (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)

[smuzaffar]

@qliphy @perrotta , 12.3.X branches are now ready to build the release
