Name : xrootd
Product : Fedora EPEL 4
Version : 20100315
Release : 2.el4

Summary : Extended ROOT file server
Description :
The Extended root file server consists of a file server called xrootd
and a clustering server called olbd.
The server names are historical. The xrootd server was developed for
the root analysis framework to serve root files. However, the server
is agnostic to filetypes and provides POSIX-like access to any type
of file. The olbd server was originally developed to cluster and load
balance Objectivity/DB AMS database servers. Because the olbd was
designed to work independently of the data server, it was easily
usable with xrootd.
