A new version of Coda, release 5.3.8 is available.
Usual location
ftp://ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/...
Coda clients and servers have been built successfully on i386, ARM, PPC,
and SPARC processors, on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, and Linux.
BUGFIXES
--------
Client related.
- Venus rotates it's logfiles when SIGHUP is sent.
Server related.
- volutil restore bugfix (Ulrich Kahn).
- Improved server setup scripts (Phil Nelson).
- Hopefully more reliable createvol_rep script (Phil Nelson).
- Only need to run updatesrv on the SCM.
- Fixed a server bug that occurs after 1024 clients have connected.
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING SERVERS
----------------------------
The createvol_rep script is using a new way of obtaining VolumeLists
from the servers. This removed the need for running updatesrv on
non-SCM Coda servers, but makes it impossible to create new volumes
on 5.3.8 servers from a 5.3.7 SCM or vice-versa.
REQUIRED PACKAGES FOR INSTALLATION
----------------------------------
Required files for a typical Coda client installation on a RedHat linux
machine.
Coda client:
- lwp-1.4-1.i386.rpm
- rpc2-1.5-1.i386.rpm
- rvm-1.1-1.i386.rpm
- coda-debug-client-5.3.8-1.i386.rpm
Coda server:
- lwp-1.4-1.i386.rpm
- rpc2-1.5-1.i386.rpm
- rvm-1.1-1.i386.rpm
>- rvm-tools-1.1-1.i386.rpm
- coda-debug-server-5.3.8-1.i386.rpm
BUILDING CODA
-------------
- First build _and install_ lwp.
- Then build and install rpc2 and rvm.
(or install [lwp,rpc2,rvm]-dev-x.x-1.i386.rpm)
- After that the main Coda tree should be able to find the libraries and
build just fine.
COMPATIBILITY
-------------
- network protocol: 5.3.1+
- Coda clients: 5.3.6
- Coda servers, RVM/vicepa: no changes
pdb databases: 5.2.3+
resolution protocol 5.3.6
update daemons: 5.3.8
