No thanks. The infrastructure from which these software packages are distributed is operated on a volunteer basis using donated equipment, facilities, and network service. Such an update mechanism would likely result in a significant increase in load which we are not prepared to handle. Unlike major operating systems and web browsers, OpenAFS does not release security-critical updates every few weeks. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
