Hello Martin,

One alternative is to build debs for debian 10 containing the CID fix while we
wait for the Debian stable release process.

Here are the steps I used to built debs for debian 10 (wheezy).

1. Get the CID fix patches from 1.8.7

  $ git clone git://git.openafs.org/openafs.git
  $ cd openafs
  $ git format-patch -n3 openafs-stable-1_8_7~2
  0001-rx-rx_InitHost-do-not-overwrite-RAND_bytes-rx_nextCi.patch
  0002-rx-update_nextCid-overflow-handling-is-broken.patch
  0003-Remove-overflow-check-from-update_nextCid.patch

2. Install build prereqs

  $ sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts lintian
  $ sudo apt-get build-dep openafs

3. Get the debian 10 sources

  $ mkdir -p Debian/openafs
  $ cd Debian/openafs
  $ apt-get source openafs

4. Include the patches

Copy the 3 patch files to debian/patches.

  $ cp ~/openafs/*.patch ~/Debian/openafs/openafs-1.8.2/debian/patches

Add the patch names to the end of patches/series.

  $ cat ~/Debian/openafs/openafs-1.8.2/debian/patches/series
  0003-Catch-up-to-roken-s-rename-of-base64-symbols.patch
  butc-repair-build-error.patch
  0001-rx-rx_InitHost-do-not-overwrite-RAND_bytes-rx_nextCi.patch
  0002-rx-update_nextCid-overflow-handling-is-broken.patch
  0003-Remove-overflow-check-from-update_nextCid.patch

5. Add a new entry at the top of the changelog. The format must
   be exact. For example:

   $ head ~/Debian/openafs/openafs-1.8.2/debian/changelog

openafs (1.8.2-2~sna+1) unstable; urgency=emergency

  * Pull in upstream patches to fix outgoing connections after
    unix epoch time 0x60000000 (Closes: #980115, #980116)

6. Build the packages with the 'debuild' helper.


  $ cd ~/Debian/openafs/openafs-1.8.2
  $ debuild -us -uc

The resulting .dep package files will be placed in ~/Debian/openafs
and can be installed with dpkg -i, in order (kernel source,
then client, then servers.)
