Anyone interested in helping test upstream release candidates for OpenAFS 1.2.3?
ONe of the packages I maintain (openafs) is approaching an upstream
release. I have packaged their release candidate, but would
appreciate help testing on architectures I don't have access to. I
have preliminary packages available at
http://www.mit.edu/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/openafs/debian/testing-1.2.3-rc1/.
I should set up the appropriate sources file so that apt-get source
works shortly.
In order to test:
apt-get source openafs
dpkg-buildpackage -B
Install the arch all openafs-modules-source
make a modules package for your kernel using make-kpkg
(there is a README.modules with instructions)
Install the modules package and openafs-client.
You will be prompted for a cell; you can use athena.mit.edu.
I'm mostly curious to know:
* Does it still work on s390
* Does it build at all on ia64 (which was just added in this release)
If you get a chance to help with this it would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
--Sam
