Arla on FreeBSD 5.5
I just attempted to install Arla from ports - I need a working AFS client. It is on FreeBSD 5.5 because I was informed that it would not work on 6.1 due to problems using locks (kernel locks??) that have not been resolved. Supposedly though, it is supposed to work on FreeBSD 5.5. But, the install is blocked with the message: === arla-0.40 is marked as broken: compiles but overwrites files from a dependancy (security/heimdal). Is there something I can do about this or can I just cause it to ignore this with impunity? If so, how? Does it just overwrite heimdal with the one from ports - which might be what is already installed anyway?If so, does it matter? If it matters, does arla have to have that particular heimdal and not what might already be installed - so can a check for it be put in and have it skip over the overwriting and just use what is already there? Basically, I need to get somewhere on this and don't know how to procede so any pointers or help will be appreciated. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So without wasting any more time on the mailing list then need be- what is the status of Arla on FreeBSD? Is there a working port for 5.2.1? Or a more general question- if one has a 5.2.1 machine (i386) and wants AFS client connectivity- what options are available to him (if any)? First, sorry if this arrives after other more useful messages. I'm travelling in Europe, and it could be up to a week before I can send this message. I've been looking at ARLA, and it seems that it's broken as a result of some changes in the bio layer of FreeBSD 5 and 6. The breakage is minor, but to fix and test it I need to do a certain amount of work, and that won't happen until mid-November at the earliest (I won't be home until 7 November). You might like to contact me (privately) round then for an updated status. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
