Package: openafs-client
Version: 1.4.7.dfsg1-2
Severity: wishlist
Right now, the openafs-client package includes a CellServDB in
/usr/share that is only copied to /etc/openafs/CellServDB when the
latter doesn't already exist. I'd really like it to do better than that.
The macos packaging includes something I wrote that merges CellServDB
updates into a possibly user-modified copy (it does this by
keeping a copy of the previous master CellServDB, and any cells that
are the same in the old master and the active CellServDB are allowed to
be updated to what is in the new master).
If you wanted to get really fancy about it, you could even optionally
decouple the cellservdb contents from the openafs-client package, and
have an additional package with (or debconf logic in the existing
package that controls...) scripts that download a copy from
www.central.org and merge that in, either periodically or on demand.
