It is based on port by Alec Kloss (CCed0 which was sent to me by Tony Jago (CCed) by email. Actually I wrote some comments about the port I've got but haven't received a reply so far. Let me introduce the port: ftp://ftp.ipt.ru/pub/tmp/openafs.shar or one can browse it here: ftp://ftp.ipt.ru/pub/tmp/openafs . The port was tested at tinderbox for 7.0-i386, 7-STABLE-i386, 8-CURRENT-i386, 7-STABLE-amd64, 8-CURRENT-amd64. The port uses sources from 1.4.8 with integrated patches for amd64. Actually, there are two extra patches. the first one is needed for building at amd64. It should be committed along with those from OpenAFS RT (ftp://ftp.ipt.ru/pub/tmp/openafs/files/patch-configure). While the second one is a real hack to make openafs to compile at 8-CURRENT (ftp://ftp.ipt.ru/pub/tmp/openafs/files/patch-curseswindows.c). I'd like to create two separate ports: openafs-server and openafs-client. But I don't know right now how to do it. Any comments are appreciated.
