It seems that once a year I end up getting a kernel update that breaks afs and then I need to install again... but with a fixed kmod -- or something else.

So I was hoping someone on the list may have a scripted install of afs for a Red Hat system -- actually, I run CentOS but they are the same enough that it shouldn't matter. Preferably, the script should look at the currently running kernel, then know enough to grab the latest stable openafs rpms and install them -- A followup script would be nice the would either update the kmod or the dkms afs package as well... Any pointers, code, adivce would be helpful.
One of the packages that the OpenAFS RPM spec file builds is "dkms-openafs". It's available along with the other Red Hat RPMs on the OpenAFS web site.
When installed, along with the "dkms" package (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/repoview/dkms.html) and the GCC compiler, it will automatically compile and install a new openafs.ko every time you install a new kernel.
