Hello, I have been using autofs with my local and remote filesystems for some time. With an update to version 5.0 numerous bugs were introduced forcing many users, including me, to downgrade. On May 2nd, Andrea Scrapino who was the autofs maintainer at the time, orphaned the package and asked on arch-dev-public if some other dev would be interested in maintaining the package. Three months later autofs is still orphaned and autofs bugs assigned to BaSH haunt the bugtracker [1]. Will autofs be deprecated? If so, what compatible alternatives are there? Kind regards, JM [1] http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?string=autofs&project=1
Not answering your question, but I notice that none of those bugs have attached a fixed PKGBUILD. It is always helpful if users who use the package regularly try and fix the issues and post updated build files.
