yum-builddep is looking at the wrong info when used on srpms. Install or =
unpack the srpm and run "yum-builddep openafs.spec" instead.

Indeed, the srpm was built on en EL5 system.

That's by accident only. It was decided that packaging OpenAFS has to =
happen "downstream" and thus the project should not provide Linux =
packages for new major OpenAFS releases (1.8+) or new major distribution =
releases (F21+, EL7+).=20

That decision should probably be revisited since the anticipated =
downstream packaging for EL7 hasn't happened (AFAIK) and the once =
existing packaging for Fedora seems not to have made it past the early =
days of F20.

Binary packages for those distributions are still being built and can be =
found in /afs/inf.ed.ac.uk/group/afsbuild , they're just no longer =
uploaded. Which seems kind of silly, given the lack of alternatives.

Best,
