Also please note that the time of release is fairly unpredictable. A couple of hours before you received the announcement, it was far from clear that 1.6.18.1 would ship that day. It could well have been postponed for a couple of days or even weeks. Please don't complain if downstream packagers don't jump on the release within hours. Maybe rather ask them (or us) how to help? - Stephan _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
