Hi all, It's time for a release, autofs-5.1.5. A few changes of note are: With the deprecation of the fedfs-utils package it was necessary to add a couple of binaries from that package for fedfs users to give them time to migrate away from using fedfs. The binaries included in autofs are fedfs-map-nfs4 and mount.fedfs. To exclude these binaries from being included use "--without fedfs" with the configure invocation. A regression which broke amd format maps option parsing resulting from the addition of amd program mount support was fixed. When used as a systemd service there were problems with dependency interactions that required changing the way autofs interacts with systemd. Other than fixing the problem this should not have any visible changes other than noticing a new command line option used with automount(8) in the systemd unit definition. There are some minor improvements to building without hesiod support. This amounts to providing sensible error messages to indicate autofs has been built without hesiod support rather than the terse messages that would result otherwise. The SIGUSR2 handling didn't work as documented in the automount(8) man page. Adding the "--enable-forced-shutdown" option to configure will now work as described in automount(8) if the kernel changes needed to support it are present. Additionally there are a number of bug fixes and other minor improvements. autofs ====== The package can be found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5/ It is autofs-5.1.5.tar.[gz|xz] No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using: rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.1.5.tar.gz and the binary rpm by using: rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.1.5.tar.gz See the README.amd-maps file for information about using amd format maps.
