-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi Boris (CC others), Thanks for your work, in turn! As you can imagine, since I'm from the OpenAFS side, I have the following agenda: 1. get official FreeBSD port of openafs server and client established--it sounds like you're on track to do this (more below) 2. absorb all relevant patches into OpenAFS upstream repo--we have Tony's 64bit fixes, as you saw, and have built these into what I submitted to RT for AMD64 target; thanks for the pointer to the other two patches, and for putting them into RT already (!); I'll look at those shortly Note that I have submitted additional patches for FreeBSD openafs server and client that will probably appear in the next stable release--including masking SIGSYS triggered by ktc_GetToken as used by vos and other programs, when the lkm is not loaded [ugh], sorry didn't fix that earlier. Now, returning to the port topic... - From what I understand, Alec's port uses Arla as the client, so I think that port isn't the _client_ port I personally and OpenAFS are trying for, but presumably they can coexist? Alec's is ideal for sites wishing to blend OpenAFS with Arla as the client, &c, and we certainly want to assist in any way we can with that effort, as well. I would like to open discussion on how OpenAFS specifically should best interface with the FreeBSD ports system--and people who would like to help us keep that port up to date :) Regards, Matt Boris Samorodov wrote: > > I'd like to create two separate ports: openafs-server and > openafs-client.
