I have noticed several typing errors in openafs-1.4.1 and 1.4.2-beta and I would like to know what the proper method is for submitting patches for them for evaluation.
I have been charged with resolving a bug in openafs that hits our clamav and spamassassin linux box farm when running a variant of centos 4 (kernel 2.6.9-34). A block of text read from a temp file in AFS gets replaced by a same-sized block of zero bytes. I am working to trim it down to a small enough example to post as a bug. While compiling in some diagnostic hooks, I noticed a fair number of compiler warnings, and started looking at a few. There seem to be several places where variables are declared to be "pointer to pointer to thing" but actually used as "pointer to thing", for example: "des_cblock * key" in des_string_to_key and "caddr_t *" in typedef bool_t(*xdrproc_t) (void *, caddr_t *, u_int) in "src/rx/xdr.h" I would prefer to file patches against 1.4.1, since that is where the bug appears, and we don't yet have 1.4.2-beta1 ready to test. What is the most useful way to submit proposed fixes for these?
