Not trusting myself to make sure I had all the minor subversion kernel
numbers in place when picking an kernel mod for openafs, I decided to try to
install with yum. So I grabbed the openafs-repository rpm and installed
that:

wget
http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.10/openafs-repository-1.4.10-1.noarch.rpm

sudo rpm -U openafs-repository-1.4.10-1.noarch.rpm

Then, I attempted to install openafs like this:

sudo yum install openafs-client

That yielded this:

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: centos.cogentcloud.com
 * updates: mirror.facebook.net
 * addons: mirror.hmc.edu
 * extras: centos.cogentcloud.com
http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.10/fedora-5/i386/repodata/repomd.xml:
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
openafs. Please verify its path and try again

So then I tried to get the rhel repository rpm with and install that.

sudo rpm -U openafs-repository-rhel-1.4.10-1.noarch.rpm
        file /etc/yum.repos.d/openafs.repo from install of
openafs-repository-rhel-1.4.10-1.noarch conflicts with file from package
openafs-repository-1.4.10-1.noarch

Since I'm too new to yum to understand how to fix this (possible bad
location in yum config?_-- and don't really understand how to fix the rpm, I
am again left fearing that I need to grab all the separate parts for openafs
and install via rpm...

Unless someone can suggest a way to make yum behave?
