I updated the RHEL4 RPMs to the 1.3.84 release.
I made the following changes:
- added the latest RHEL4 kernel (2.6.9-11)
- removed old errata kernel (2.6.9-5.0.3)
- updated CellServDB to latest version from central.org
- The older init script tried to find the libafs kernel module
which exactly matched the current kernel. Otherwise, it would
not start AFS. I added a new script which tries to find the
'closest matching' kernel module based on file name. This should
allow OpenAFS to keep working in most cases after a kernel
update. (since the Red Hat kernels generally don't change the
ABI)
I didn't bother packaging the 1.3.83 release since it was buggy.
You can download the 1.3.84 packages for i386 and x86_64 from:
