I was looking around OpenSUSE.org and looked at some of their Build
Service information.
Me too, last week in fact.
They have a couple of versions of OpenAFS modules available, 1.4..2 and
1.4.4, as well as libpag-openafs-session. I didn't see any familiar
names on the packages. I'm going to give their modules a try when I get
the 10.3 version shortly.
I asked Matthias Eckermann (who has the 1.4.2 packages in his
home-project home:mge1512) about the openafs-packages.
He agreed that I could copy it and update it to openafs-1.4.4, since he
wouldn't have the time for it.
Thus, under my home-project home:rzg0hank you can find the 1.4.4 packages.
Has anybody tried these modules yet? They also make some claims about
providing build services for several other distributions, like Fedora,
Debian, Mandriva, and Ubuntu.
Well, since they're pretty new, I guess noone tested them yet.
At least they install (and the client works) on OpenSUSE10.2 i586, but I
haven't had time to try out more.
I guess there's a lot to fix, esp. there's no binary kernel-module yet.
Anyway, everyone should feel free to try them:
If you want to try them out, you can use following repository-information
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rzg0hank/<DIST>/home:rzg0hank.repo
where <DIST> is one of openSUSE_10.2, SLES_9 or SLE_10 (sic!).
Since I have never used the suse-rpm before I'd appreciate any comment's
what's desired.
About the other Linux-Distros: It seems you can build rpm for them as
well, but I haven't actually seen doing it.
(Just curious)
I just didn't tell it here yet, because of the drawbacks mentioned above.
