own function:

  castor::tape:aggregator::VdqmRequestHandlerThread::processJobSubmissionRequest

Started to refactorise out the giving of file lists to RTCPD.

Fix checksum comparison so that is does give false positives due to string comparison of a hex number with a 0 on the left.

check set of messages which occure after the sending of the initial
request list and before the creation of the abort/ping thread of
RTPCD.

extended gettapestocheck with the cleanup. changed the way that filerecallfailed is called by updateRecRetryPolicy.

 added the procedures for the tapegateway, forwardport of the fix for besttapecopyforstream and resetstreams

Fixed: 'assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type' compilation warning. Also lower-cased the secOn flag to conform to name server variable naming conventions

Updated the formatting of the synopsis line to conform to the same standard as the other name server related commands

have removed RtcpdHandlerThread.  The code compiles, but probably does not
work.

The concurrency and communication model has been decided.  There will be a pool of VDQM threads with one thread per tape drive.  Today there is only one drive
per tape server at CERN, but we are trying to keep backwards compatibility.
The existing code we are trying to replace kept open the option of more than
one drive per tape server.  One VDQM thread will use a select loop to
communicate with the five or more incomming connections required by RTCPD.  By
default, RTCPD makes five connections to a client.  The initial connection to
signal the start of a remote tape copy and to listen for ping and abort
messages, one connection for the RTCPD tape IO thread, and three connections
for the default number of three RTCPD disk IO threads.

The next step is to code the select loop for the five or more connections.

to address deadlocks. The defaultMigrSelPolicy still has concurrency issues.

Fixed: #45929: Incorrect 'Argument list too long' error when using stager_qry by service class and directory

in the database. A better solution however shall come within the Request Handler.
