Discussion
==========

* Ben to update the www.openafs.org site with the 1.8.11pre1 announcement.

* Ben has been able to review more of the changes for Linux-6.8.

* Change 15638 is a small change to fix objdir builds. General
  agreement it probably should be included in 1.8.11 final.

* Andrew submitted cache manager changes to avoid SIGBUS when
  a process receives a non-fatal signal, while we are waiting
  for data from a fileserver, while we are servicing a page fault.

15637 LINUX: Block non-fatal signals when sleeping
15636 LINUX: Refactor afs_osi_Sleep
