It's bothered me for some time that a basic infrastructure item like AFS is distributed in a way that bypasses the OS software management system on most platforms. I guess it's a time/resources thing, but still -- seems wrong, somehow. It's not that hard to do, especially on Solaris and AIX. I spent some time this week looking at why OpenAFS for Solaris isn't distributed as a installable package instead of a tarball. I wrote some scripting to do a proper Solaris SMF item for startup as part of the post-install action in the package. If you have suggestions on the implementation -- particularly what you think the canonical location for files should be if you're not using Transarc paths -- let's share notes off-list. I'll try to get around to send this (and the AIX installp stuff) upstream at some point in the future. Not a high priority for me at the moment. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
