To the best of my knowledge, the port I made (http;//setfilepointer.com/pub/afs/FreeBSD) works for 6.3, 7.0 and -current, except maybe for changes in the last few days in -current which may have broken the port. If there's sufficient interest, I'll add 5.x support (via arla 0.43) to the port as well, but I was hoping to avoid that, as it's a lot of overhead and arla's newish block-by-block cache (thanks Thomas) which isn't available in arla 0.43 makes arla highly competitive with the OpenAFS client available elsewhere. =20 As for getting the port into the ports tree, I think everyone's all for it, but Thomas is volunteering to help merge our patch into the arla sources which I'd prefer over maintaining a jumbo patch like what we have now. I'm optimistic that we can probably have everything ready by/after the weekend. =20 So, please do test the port, and whine at me and/or Robert about issues with it. I'm trying to shelter him from the details as long as he shelters me from VFS. :) --=20 Alec Kloss alec@SetFilePointer.com IM: angryspamhater@yahoo.com PGP key at http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=3Dget&search=3D0xA241980E "No Bunny!" -- Simon, from Frisky Dingo --4LwthZj+AV2mq5CX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHw62c2s33paJBmA4RAl1KAKCB+QmaqcbnMZE1hPcUbIQ/3BCRIgCeNVh6 ifzP0uFdFVArIIWaskIHvWY= =YyHJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4LwthZj+AV2mq5CX--
