That's right; the OpenAFS build system has lots of history behind it, which means that it is not particularly elegant at handling this sort of thing. > > I rummaged around in the README it left in the ../work directory > and saw a bunch of AMD64 versions up to 8.1 (and even 9.0) but > not 8.2 or 8.3.

No fault on your end; I need to push in updates for 8.3 and 10.0 support but have been busy with schoolwork. For now, if you're up for a little bit of tinkering, you could go in to /usr/ports/net/openafs and 'make clean && make extract', then: cd work/openafs-1.6.0/src/config && cp param.amd64_fbsd_82.h param.amd64_fbsd_83.h and continue with the usual make install, etc., in /usr/ports/net/openafs/. If that still does not compile/run, please send me the build log (or dmesg -a output if a runtime failure) and I will look at it. > > > By the way, I need just the client.

It is fairly easy to just build the server, but since my interest was mostly in the client I did not add an option for doing so. Thanks for the report, and sorry to have been so slow at catching up to 8.3/10.0. -Ben Kaduk
