Changed-By: Benjamin Kaduk <[email protected]>
Closes: 1136542 1146540
Changes:
openafs (1.8.17~pre1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream prerelease:
- Support Linux 7.2 (Closes: #1146540).
- Disable the OpenAFS-internal directory name lookup cache by default,
since the native Linux one achieves the same goal. It can be
re-enabled with the "afs.afs_usednlc" sysctl.
* Make openafs-client Depends: procps since pidof is leaving Essential
(Closes: #1136542).
