Should be, but alas, http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/candidate/1.6.0pre4 shows none. In fact, finding 1.6.0pre4 is quite a trick. I'm not sure you can do it starting from http://openafs.org/ without manual URL tweaking. Maybe I'm click deficient, but I still haven't found the rpm to configure yum. Finally did it by hand. -- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ / [email protected] 919-445-9302 http://www.unc.edu/~utoddl / / He often broke into song because he couldn't find the key. / +--------------------------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
