I just became aware of this thread today... Is there anything we
can do to assist this effort? I can't make any promises, obviously,
but AFS support is of interest to a lot of our customers and that
means we're interested in this support too.
It would certainly make my Mac-Support life here at RPI easier if
our Mac users could rely on a working OpenAFS client, particularly
as new major releases of MacOS come out. Right now pretty much
everyone but me goes through our samba-server to get to our AFS
space, and in my opinion that is less-than-ideal... And I'm also
the guy who runs our samba server! It would be helpful if Apple
could provide some support for this area. (but then, that's what
everyone would say about their favorite projects... :-)
On the AFS client progress has been made. To quote Chaskiel M Grundman
from the thread titled "[OpenAFS-port-darwin] tiger progress report"
on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list:
[sample MacOS 10.4 package at:]
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~cg2v/unreleased/OpenAFS-Tiger.pkg.tgz
The problem that made ~/Library in afs unusable has been fixed,
but it's still not production ready. Browsing the afs top level
from the finder broke the one time I tried it.
