Subject: Release of MacOS 10 client
SNA is happy to release our MacOS 10 AFS Client to OpenAFS.org.
Specifically, the donation entails: 1) changes to packaging, 2)
binaries, ie.SNA-signed install package files, 3) documentation of
build-process for packages. The versions of the packages and OpenAFS
are OpenAFS 1.6.15, OpenAFS 1.6.16, Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite), and Mac
OSX 10.11 (El Capitan).
The timing on this has been very fortunate for a few folks at RPI who
upgraded their macs to Yosemite in the past week. Not sure why so
many picked this week to do that upgrade! So far they're using the
package for 1.6.15, which is much much better than having no AFS at
all.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this!
Just to add a quick update on this. There's one guy running this new
client on Yosemite, and one using it on El Capitan. In both cases,
almost all the work they do is done from the command line. I should
probably also note that AFS at RPI is also still stuck using the
original kerberos4-based authentication instead of the vastly preferred
krb5. (I do hope to be changing that in the next few months, but right
now we're really ancient).
Both guys have been happy with this newer version. No major problems,
at least not for the way they use AFS. (which is also the way I use AFS
on my mac, although I haven't installed either Yosemite or the new
client yet. All of us tend to live in Terminal windows... :)
