Hold on -- the "backport" was supposedly already done: http://gerrit.openafs.org/#change,1711
Tactically, I could hack it, but I need to make this reproducible, so I would like to get that change and apply it to the released 1.4.12 source tree. Should I expect those git commands documented by gerrit to work? I tried the one for "Patch": pmo...@renegade$ git fetch http://gerrit.openafs.org/p/openafsrefs/changes/11/1711/2 && git format-patch -1 --stdout FETCH_HEAD error: The requested URL returned error: 403 while accessing http://gerrit.openafs.org/p/openafs/info/refs fatal: HTTP request failed No luck :-( On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 2:37 PM, Derrick Brashear <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 2:30 PM, Phillip Moore > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I went ahead and built 1.4.12, and immediately discovered what Norbert > was > > alluding to when he mentioned "modified libraries".
