  General OpenAFS Progress
    OpenAFS version 1.5.73 was released on March 24. It was followed by
    three point releases to fix some issues. The latest version is 1.5.73.3.
    The gatekeepers are asking for people to really start testing the 1.5.x
    releases on Unix machines to help iron out bugs before 1.6. To help
    people with the testing efforts, Russ Allbery has uploaded new Debian
    packages:

        I've uploaded Debian packages of 1.5.73.3 plus some additional
        recent patches to Debian experimental. I should be able to keep the
        packages up to date with subsequent 1.5.x releases going forward.

        Due to the new libkopenafs1 package, the upload will have to go
        through NEW, so it will be a little bit before they show up in
        Debian.

        --Russ Allbery

    The instructions for contributing to OpenAFS have been revised for using
    Git. These instructions are in the README.git file in each release.

    The growl agent for Mac OS X is included in 1.5.73, but it's not well
    integrated yet. Initial feedback is positive and testers are welcome.
    Please send any feedback ot the port-darmin@openafs.org mailing list.

    A new version of the AFS PERL API was released. For more information and
    downloads, go to <http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/kwiki/nog/afsperl/>

  Events
   Annual Best Practices Workshop
    Plans are already underway for the seventh Workshop, to be held May
    24-28, 2010, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We hope
    to see you there.

    Web site: <http://workshop.openafs.org/afsbpw10/index.html>

    events, is still forthcoming.

    Hotel and travel information is also available.

    We'll be looking forward to meeting you at Illinois next month!

   European AFS Conference
    The date for the 3rd European AFS & Kerberos Conference has been set.
    The conference will take place in Pilsen, Czech Republic, from September
    13 to September 15, 2010. More details are forthcoming and will be
    posted at <http://afs2010.civ.zcu.cz>. The conference is being hosted by
    Centre for Information Technology, University of West Bohemia.

  AFS Protocol Standardization
    Informal drafts that haven't been uploaded to the IETF web site:

    Rx Spec:

    <http://openafs.sinenomine.net/~mmeffie/rfc/draft-zeldovich-rx-spec-00.h
    tml>

    This draft is in the very early stages. Mike Meffie and Tom Keiser are
    the current owners of this proposal. Nickolai Zeldovich wrote the
    original draft. Mike and Tom have started updating the draft with
    Nickolai's permission. A formal specification of Rx is needed for a
    basis for other IETF proposals.

    Discussion on these proposals is welcome and should be done on the
    AFS3-standardization list at
    <http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standar
    dization>

    Expires: March 23, 2010

   DNS SRV Resource Records for AFS
    <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-allbery-afs-srv-records>

    Status: Submitted to IETF

    Still in the RFC Editor queue, waiting for them to have a chance to work
    on it.

    --Russ

   RXGK
    <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilkinson-afs3-rxgk>

    Status: Active

    Rxgk is a security layer for AFS which will support strong encryption
    and authentication through Kerberos v5, GSI and any other GSSAPI
    security mechanism.

    Changes which are considered suitable for the 1.5.x series are in git -
    look for changes with author sxw@your-file-system.com. A development
    tree, which will be frequently rebased, is at
    http://github.com/your-file-system/openafs-rxgk

   AFS3 ACL Rights
    <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-deason-afs3-acl-restrictions>

    Status: Second draft

    Last update: Jan 13, 2010

    See the Per-File ACLs section for more info.

   Rx Security Object Providing Cleartext Peer Identity Assertions
    <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tkeiser-rxrpc-sec-clear>

    Status: Second draft

    Last Update: February 1, 2010

    The Rx clear security class will improve on the rxnull security object
    by eliminating certain race conditions related to IPv4 address changes.
    A -02 revision of this internet draft will be forthcoming in the next
    few days, which will update the introduction and security considerations
    sections of the memo. Everyone is invited to review this document, and
    comments should be sent to the afs3-standardization@grand.central.org
    mailing list.

   AFSVol Tag-Length-Value Remote Procedure Call Extensions
    <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tkeiser-afs3-volser-tlv>

    Status: Second Draft

    Last Update: April 6, 2010

    As new forms of metadata are added to AFS volumes, we are running into
    limitations with the wire volume metadata structures used by the volume
    server. This internet draft aims to standardize a tag-length-value (TLV)
    encoding for arbitrary AFS volume metadata. A new version of this draft
    was released on April 6th, 2010. Everyone is invited to review and
    comment on this document. Comments should be sent to the
    afs3-standardization@grand.central.org mailing list.

  Projects
   Demand-Attach FileServer (DAFS)
    Project Contacts:

    *   Andrew Deason <adeason@sinenomine.net>

    *   Tom Keiser <tkeiser@sinenomine.net>

    *   Mike Meffie <mmeffie@sinenomine.net>

    Gerrit 1406 (per-volume locks) has been merged along with the related
    changes, and thus we can now salvage at the same time as volume
    operations as well as other salvages. Gerrit 1092 is unfortunately still
    not merged; we encourage additional review from anyone who can. Current
    DAFS development involves adding background I/O threads to the salvager
    code, and later making demand-salvages spawn as threads instead of
    processes. Code for that should be available shortly.

    --Andrew

   Better Documentation
    Project Contacts:

    *   Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>

    *   Jason Edgecombe <jason@rampaginggeek.com>

    Davor Ocelic is working on writing man pages for the new demand-attach
    binaries that aren't yet documented. The man page for state_analyzer has
    been committed.

   Pthreaded Ubik
    Project Contact:

    *   Steven Jenkins <steven.jenkins@gmail.com>

    *   Andrew Deason <adeason@sinenomine.net>

    *   Alistair Ferguson <Alistair.Ferguson@morganstanley.com>

    Gerrit 1546 (add locks for addresses and cheader) has been submitted for
    review, and with that, we now believe the vlserver to be thread-safe.
    Since the vlserver thread-safety issues were the only known pthreaded
    ubik issues, after 1546 we are aware of no further issues with pthreaded
    ubik.

    --Steven

    We're still discussing what solution to use in gerrit 1546 (add locks
    for the vldb ubik cache). Additional problems affecting pthreaded ubik
    were found and fixed in gerrit 1680 (kill afs_inet_ntoa) and 1681
    (correct use of flags_cond and version_cond).

    --Andrew

    This project will likely be dropped as a separate project in a couple of
    issues of the newsletter when this project is fully merged into the
    mainline OpenAFS code.

   Kerberos v5 and multiple encryption types
    Project Contacts:

    *   Matt Benjamin <matt@linuxbox.com>

    *   Marcus Watts <mwd@umich.edu>

    I was hoping to have some time this week - got distracted by other
    matters. I do have one change of interest: the "tokens expired" message
    which formerly looked like this:

     Feb 22 10:23:08 lancashire kernel: afs: Tokens for user of AFS id 
555 for cell cats.umich.edu expired now

    (where 555 was a fixed constant because the cache manager doesn't know
    what viceid the user has), now looks like this:

     Apr 3 04:55:37 lancashire kernel: afs: Tokens for 
mdw@CATS.UMICH.EDU for cell cats.umich.edu expired now

    I think that's an improvement.

    Heimdal has some annoying weirdness with key types and checksums. In
    1.3.1 (at least,) the verify checksum logic insists only one checksum
    algorithm is acceptable per key type. The standards documents do not
    forbid this interpetation, but don't exactly require it. Sorting out
    acceptable checksum algorithms between various kerberos distributions
    continues to be a problem.

    I'm hoping to do a code drop soon. It will probably be a complete copy
    of source not just diffs. I was overly aggressive about fixing tabs and
    now have to "undo" some fixes to patches. Blech.

   Per-File ACLs
    Project Contacts:

    *   Marc Dionne <marc.c.dionne@gmail.com>

    Current status:

    *   I plan to give a talk on the topic at the upcoming workshop

   Mac OS X OpenAFS Preference Pane
    Project Contact:

    *   Claudio Bisegni <Claudio.Bisegni@lnf.infn.it>

    The preference pane has been updated to allow the renewal of Kerberos
    tickets. The GUI and afs backgrounder were updated to accomodate this
    change.

    --Claudio

   *BSD Support
    Project Contacts:

    *   Matt Benjamin <matt@linuxbox.com>

    Commit 028240329c09b6a311cb85736f41d75f7ee7a01f deals with some updated
    VFS calls in FreeBSD.

   Userspace cache manager
    Project Contact:

    *   Andrew Deason <adeason@sinenomine.net>

    I've finally managed to find time to work on this again, resulting in
    gerrit changes 1714-1726 which give a FUSE OpenAFS/libuafs client.
    Functionality improvements over previous libuafs code include fixed
    support for AFSDB and fakestat. Support will be forthcoming for some
    pioctl operations (lsmount, rmmount, getacl, setacl, checkservers) and
    perl SWIG bindings.

    I will be presenting at AFSBPW 2010 about libuafs, on its potential uses
    and how to use it.

   S3 Front-end for AFS
    Project Contacts:

    *   Fabrizio Manfredi <fabrizio.manfredi@gmail.com>

    *   Claudio Bisegni <Claudio.Bisegni@lnf.infn.it>

    We have a generic implementation in alpha test, without authentication
    and specific AFS ACL support. We hope to release a first public beta at
    the end of the April ( without authentication).

    --Fabrizio

   Virtual Machine Images
    Project Contact:

    *   Fabrizio Manfredi <fabrizio.manfredi@gmail.com>

    The Virtual Machine Images are updated, now the operating system is
    Centos 5.4 with openafs 1.4.12, in the new distribution is also present
    the AFS perl API with example scripts. If you want, you can downgrade to
    openafs 1.4.11 with a simple snapshot rollback. The images are in vmware
    format only, you can download from:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3afs/files/openafs-1.4.12-vm

   Google Summer of Code 2010
    Google will be doing their Summer of Code again in 2010. We're proud to
    announce that for the third year, OpenAFS will be participating as a
    mentoring organization.

    --Simon

    Accepted student proposals will be announced on April 26.
