=3D=3D Linux news =3D=3D

Marc tested the current 1.6 head against the current Linux mainline =
(rc7+), and we're still good.

=3D=3D Problem reports =3D=3D

=3D=3D=3D RT #131819 (vos size -dump) =3D=3D=3D

Gerrit 10876 is still under review on master. Stephan to contact Hartmut =
and push the change again with the "FIXES" line in the commit message if =
he's ok with it. [done]

=3D=3D=3D RT #131825 - slow/stalling vos move =3D=3D=3D

Looks like an issue with the system, but there's a remote chance that =
it's an OpenAFS issue. Andrew to ask for debugging data.

 =3D=3D=3D

The current state of Andrew's bind mount implementation is available:  =
http://gerrit.openafs.org/#q,status:open+project:openafs+branch:openafs-st=
able-1_6_x+topic:linux-mtpt-bindmount,n,z . Of course this would have to =
go through master before it's actually committed, isn't quite finished =
yet, it's unclear whether it's not too complex for the stable series at =
all, etc. But it's probably the way to go in the long run, and it should =
build and basically work at least on EL 6.5. The comments on the last =
change in the stack (10917) are worth reading even if you have no time =
to look into the actual code.

=3D=3D 1.6.7 security release =3D=3D

No firm news, but Jeffrey reports that it's still planned to =
pre-announce at EAKC and release 1.6.7 on Wednesday the week after =
(April the 2nd).

=3D=3D 1.6.8 release =3D=3D

The issue introduced by gerrit 10804 reported by Andrew in =
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2014-March/019791.html =
is a showstopper. [update: Marc whipped up gerrit 10928 which will =
hopefully fix this - please review & test]

Due to this, we'll not get 1.6.8pre1 out before EAKC. There's still hope =
to get it out during EAKC though. A face-to-face release-team meeting is =
planned for Wednesday evening in CERN's restaurant 1 (WLAN available =
there), with the goal to get pre1 out the door (tagged, tarballs =
uploaded) during the meeting.

Another late addition to 1.6.8 are the OS X/Xcode 5.1 patches. Please =
review =
http://gerrit.openafs.org/#q,status:open+project:openafs+branch:openafs-st=
able-1_6_x+topic:xcode51,n,z .

Finally, Mike brings up gerrit 10884, fixing a possible panic during =
client shutdown. [meanwhile pulled up as gerrit 10932]
