    - On a related note, I split out the shared libraries (libafsrpc

      in the OpenAFS build actually uses these libraries at the
      moment, they should probably go into a separate piece for now.

Very recently, I filed a bug ticket (#20412) that netatalk could not
compile against openafs. It turned out it included only -lafsauthent
but -lafsauthent actually requires -lafsrpc, so one has to have
both available for the linker and runtime. So, I doubt it makes sense
to split them.

Both libafsrpc and libafsauthent are in the same package. What I meant by 'split them off' was that I removed the shared libraries from the other OpenAFS RPMs, and put them in their own package.

openafs-authlibs contains only the shared libraries (libafsrpc and libafsauthent); openafs-authlibs-devel contains the static libraries of the same name, as well as the symbolic links 'libafsrpc.so', 'libafsauthent.so', which are only used during linking.



Thanks,
