Hi all, It's release time.
Things have settled down and it's seems like a good time to put together a release. I know there are a few things outstanding but I'd like to start that work from what seems to be a fairly stable base. autofs ====== As usual the package can be found at: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4 It is autofs-4.1.3.tar.[gz|bz2] No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using: rpmbuild -ts autofs-4.1.3.tar.gz and the binary rpm by using: rpmbuild -tb autofs-4.1.3.tar.gz Changes (taken from the CHANGELOG): - fixed bug processing --verbose option in init scripts. - added missing parameter in call to run fsck on ext2 module (Jeff Moyer). - added check for executable existance in getldapmounts in init script. - updated comment about option handling in getmounts in init script. - updated kernel module patches. - fix to init script for reload option (Michael Blandford). - autofs now requires autoconf later than 2.5. - replicated server fixup. - fix segv in NIS lookup module (Jeff Moyer). - init script fix for Debian (Thorild Selen). - fix pie option not checking for runable executable. - add NFS V3 and TCP to rpc discovery. - make nonstrict the default for multi-mount map entries. Kernel module build kit ====================== The kernel module build kit for kernel 2.4 is back. There is one requirement. If you wish to use it there is a mandatory patch that must be aplied to the kernel and a recomile done for it to work. On the other hand it only needs be applied once. Subsequent updates can then be done without recompiling your kernel. The patches in the module-patches directory do not have this patch. If you are using the kit and you wish to patch the kernel source tree both patches in the kernel-patches and the patch in the module-pathes directories are required. NOTE: The kernel module WILL NOT WORK unless, at least, the mandatory patch that lives in the kernel-patches and the approiate patch from module-pathes directory are applied. The kernel module build kit is: autofs4-2.4-module-20040508.tar.[gz|bz2] Kernel patches ============== These kernel module patches include the mandatory patch mentioned above and the optional doco patch from the module build kit. The latest kernel patches are: autofs4-2.4.18-20040508.patch current autofs4 patch for kernel 2.4.18 and below. autofs4-2.4.20-20040508.patch current autofs4 patch for kernel 2.4.19 through 2.4.21 autofs4-2.4.20-redhat9-20040508.patch current autofs4 patch for RedHat 9 kernel 2.4.20 series. autofs4-2.4.22-20040508.patch current autofs4 patch for kernel 2.4.22 and above. autofs4-2.4.22-fc1-20040508.patch current autofs4 patch for Fedora 1 kernels. If there are problems with earlier kernel versions please let me know. autofs4-2.6.0-20040508.patch current autofs4 patch for vanila kernels 2.4.0 through 2.6.3. autofs4-2.6.4-20040508.patch current autofs4 patch for vanila kernels 2.4.4 and above. If there are problems with later kernels let me know. I'm hoping that these updates will make it into the mainline kernel soon. They have been in the mm tree for a while now and have been passed on to Linus by Andrew Morten the other day.
