TWiki Legacy - InstallingXRootD5

Use the official

XRootD 5 repos at CERN for the main code and the XRootD Ceph plugin. NB If you're not on a Quattor-managed VM, leave out the ".quattor" part of the following pathnames (but check/create an empty .pkgs file in the yum.quattor.repos.d directory for each repo).

cat /etc/yum.quattor.repos.d/xrootd-stable-slc7.repo
