1.8.x stable
============

* Discussion on gerrit 14314: this is needed to avoid DMKS install errors on
  systems which do not have 'make' installed. (Note: Normally, make runs after
  configure, but in OpenAFS, configure also runs make to check for linux kernel
  module build support.

14314 redhat: Add make to the dkms-openafs pre-requirements

* The master version of gerrit 14314 is being reverted on master to move the
  change to the volume server.

1.9.x/master
============

* Cheyenne reports build and testing on Fedora33 pre-release is working
  with AES service keys.

* Cheyenne asks if it is time to clean up code bits for linux versions
  older than 2.6.10 (2.0, 2.2, 2.4)? Ben says it would be a fine thing
  to do. Suggests checking with Andrew D to coordinate.

* Ben reports he did not tag 1.9.0 yet, but has gotten a new version
  uploaded to debian to address the -fcommon complier issues, which was
  needed to avoid being autoremoved from debian.

Infrastructure
==============

No updates.
