Re: [OpenAFS] OpenAFS 1.8.11 beta1 available

2024-02-29 Thread Benjamin Kaduk 
Hi Berthold,

Thanks for the report!

I'll note that we now have 'srpm' and 'rpm' Makefile targets as of 1.8.10,
so you may not need to be copying/modifying the spec file in order to build
rpms.

I expect that someone who has an rpm-based system will try to take a look
at the warnings from rpmbuild.

Hi,

I've used the sources and a spec from 1.8.10 (only the version numbers 
modified) to build rpms for fedora 38.


I got some minor warnings from rpmbuild regarding absolute symbolic 
links and double listed files.


The kernel module (for 6.7.6-100.fc38.x86_64) was build with dkms. 
Installation of the rpms worked as expected. I've got openafs running 
for our cell. I've seen no problems until now.


Next step will be an upgrade of the system to fedora 39.
