The question is whether anybody has told the users that this command would be deprecated (or perhaps be replaced by "xrdfs")?
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). (just to clarify: I've seen these crashes happen to other users on the CERN LXPLUS cluster. I am not using |
Yes, all this was communicated every time I got an opportunity to speak publicly, which was quite a lot. Not putting a deprecation message in |
My understanding is that I'll add a warning, update man pages and prepare a separate announcement with a remainder that the old client is not to be used. |
Could we also not build it by default in future release (i.e., require a flag to be passed for it to actually be built and shipped)? That would provide yet another nudge in the right direction. |
The DEPRECATION notes are present in xrd and xrdcp-old man pages: I have added warnings to the binaries in: so I think I can safely close this one. |
