Yeah, I was foolishly waiting for things to settle down. :)
Nonsense!!
Honestly, I'm glad someone else is working on this -- I'm glad to help, but
OpenAFS is too big and complicated to depend on just one maintainer.
We've had similar but seprate packages for a long time now. All about
finding something that works for both of us well.
I'll take a look at what you've got ... should the rest of
this discussion
be moved to the Fedora Extras list?
I don't know. Yum isn't ready to handle kernel modules yet. My patch
wont be in 2.3.4 and there more patches that need writing to deal with "I
need to install kernel-module-openafs now what VRs do I install?" The
hard ones.
Since OpenAFS seems to be the common case to a lot of folks, and isn't
trivial to package...might as well let folks have a look. :-)
