[ANNOUNCE] autofs 5.0.1 rc3 release candidate

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

While there are still some issues the number of patches is hard
to manage so I'm consolidating again.

Known issues
============

Quoted strings in the master map are not yet handled.
This may be delayed unlil the first bug fix release following
the initial release.

There will always be bugs so I need to draw a line at some point
and issue a release of 5.0.1. That means this might be the last
oppertunity to test before the release so please find time to
check this out.

autofs
======

The package can be found at:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5

It is autofs-5.0.1-rc3.tar.[gz|bz2]

No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using:

rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.0.1-rc3.tar.gz

and the binary rpm by using:

rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.0.1-rc3.tar.gz

See the INSTALL file for information about configure options and
kernel requirements.

Note:
The rc2 tar and patches have been moved to the "old" subdirectory
so any automated build processes that are looking for the tar or
patches in the location above will need to be updated.

Here are the entries from the CHANGELOG which outline the updates:
