 Looked at this and it looks like old software which isn't backwards
 compatible or long term supported.

  1. bump to next version?
  1. Move software to EPEL.fast when it occurs

 Hello,

 We would like to use a version of gfal2-plugin-xrootd built against xrootd
 4 for EL5 and EL6.  Does anyone know if there are plans to build and
 release version 0.3 (or 0.3.pre1) for EL5 & EL6?

 (The version available in EL7 is built against xrootd 4, but EL5 & EL6 are
 built against xrootd 3.)


 More details:

 It looks like the current version available in EPEL for EL5 & EL6 is
 0.2.2-2:

         http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=420560
         http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=420579

 from May 2013.  Since this version was built against xrootd 3, we're not
 able to install it along with xrootd 4.  Also, attempting to rebuild this
 version (0.2.2-2) fails both against the latest version of gfal2 and
 against xrootd 4.

 But I see that there is a newer version 0.3.pre1-2 available for EL7:

         https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140171
         http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=576482

 It looks like this version addresses the build issues and we can rebuild
 it in EL5 & EL6 against the latest gfal2 and xrootd 4.

 I'm wondering if there are plans for EPEL to update to & release the new
 version of gfal2-plugin-xrootd in EL5 & EL6 also (so we can get it
 directly from EPEL).  And if not, is this something EPEL would consider?

 Thanks!
 Carl
