Discussion
==========

* Ben is in the process of reviewing and merging proposed changes onto
  the openafs-stable-1_8_x branch for 1.8.14.

* Mike is updating the NEWS file for 1.8.14

* Cheyenne reports some changes will be needed for Linux 6.15, mostly build
  system changes.

* Mike has added more "nightly" buildbot builders. All of the nightly
  linux builders have --enable-checking in the configure options to convert
  compiler warnings to errors and run the TAP unit tests.
