There are some workflows for which there are errors in the baseline:

The results for the comparisons for these workflows could be incomplete
This means most likely that the IB is having errors in the relvals.The error does NOT come from this pull request

+externals

this is ready to go in 14.2.X . This is needed for xrootd tokens

[cmsbuild]

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next IB/CMSSW_14_2_X/master IBs (but tests are reportedly failing). This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @sextonkennedy, @mandrenguyen, @rappoccio, @antoniovilela (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)

[smuzaffar]

@mandrenguyen @antoniovilela , any objections on updating xrootd for 14.x release cycles? We need this for token based authenticate
