[OpenAFS] OpenAFS 1.8.11 beta1 available

[Benjamin Kaduk]

Hi Berthold,

Thanks for the report!

I'll note that we now have 'srpm' and 'rpm' Makefile targets as of 1.8.10,
so you may not need to be copying/modifying the spec file in order to build
rpms.

I expect that someone who has an rpm-based system will try to take a look
at the warnings from rpmbuild.
