This is a request to upgrade the xrootd client tools from version 20080728-0933v1 to 20090202-1402v2. The xrdcp tool in this version is able to overwrite a file that is located on a data server that has not no space left (as seen from the redirector). The current xrdcp version doesn't allow this and will fail.
Testing
The new version has been installed in the Fermi xrootd application area and is available through the DEV link. All tools xrdcp, xrd.pl, xrdls and
xrdprel were tested against the test and production xrootd server.
...
The client version is rolled back by recreating the link to the old version.

Details
The current xrdcp version will fail to overwrite a file that is on a data server that has no free space left. It will fail because the redirector will not redirect the client. The new xrdcp version however will first remove the file and then write it to a new server.
The other client tools have not been changed except xrd.pl for which an option to remove a directory tree has been added which is currently not applicable for the production xrootd.
In order to update the version the link /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/glast/applications/xrootd/PROD
