Hi all, A release is long overdue so here it is, autofs-5.1.9. There are quite a lot of changes in the release but they are mostly bug fixes arising from a number significant improvements done over the last several releases. Some general performance overheads have crept in over quite a while and work has been done to improve on it but once the obvious is done it gets much harder to improve, so that's ongoing as time permits. autofs ====== The package can be found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5/ It is autofs-5.1.9.tar.[gz|xz] No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using: rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.1.9.tar.gz and the binary rpm by using: rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.1.9.tar.gz Here are the entries from the CHANGELOG which outline the updates: -
