Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for PelicanPlatform/pelican: Delivered RPM dependency update for pelican-server to require xrdhttp-pelican >= 0.0.10, improving runtime readiness and deployment reliability in RPM-based environments. Debian dependencies remain unchanged due to unavailability of Debs. This work reduces startup failures caused by missing components and improves reproducibility across deployments. Commit 61bed0b5dda9c8f5c9283466dcc49c6bef7c700f documents the change.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025: PelicanPlatform/pelican delivered stabilization for Xrdhttp-pelican in XRootD 5.9 image builds. Pinning xrdhttp-pelican to a specific minor version aligned with the locked XRootD version, adding Koji-based installation support for non-source builds, and upgrading to xrdhttp-pelican 0.0.8 to ensure 5.9 compatibility. These changes improve image build reliability, reduce upgrade risk, and improve performance in deployed environments.
