This was announced at linuxworld. It has been mentioned on the freebsd-afs mailing list. I think it is a very interesting development, we shall have to see how it works out. Note that there will still be a commercial AFS offering, and this new open-source AFS option. The open-source one will not include some things from the commercial package. I am not sure what things will be missing. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
