[OpenAFS-devel] AIX buildbot maintenance

[Niklas Edmundsson]

Hi all,

Just wanted to give you a heads up that the AIX buildbot will be 
upgraded to a current AIX Technology Level tomorrow, Swedish time. 
It should take about an hour, longer if I get distracted by other 
things and forget to reboot it afterwards ;)

After a mere 549 day uptime I thought it best to upgrade it from AIX 
6.1 TL04 (unsupported since November 2011) to AIX 6.1 TL08, which will 
be supported until November 2015).

As I know there was kernel header changes between TL04 and TL05 (if I 
remember correctly) the AFS kernel module built on TL08 won't work on 
pre-TL05 machines. There might be other boundary conditions, but 
that's one I know of at least.
