Hey all,

Yes, OpenAFS is always a pain to work with both on the server and the
client side. :(

This time I think the client installation is harder than usual, we
have to apply 5 patches.

I went through the gerrit and the mailing lists, collected the
patches, changed them, that they don't conflict on apply and renamed
them to be compatible with the debian/patches subdirectory.

Usage instructions:
  - download all the patches
  - download openafs source with apt-get source openafs
  - put the files in debian/patches
  - optional: use dch -i to increase the version number (e.g. to
-1.1), so you can see that this is a local package and apt-get doesn't
redownload it from the internet
  - use dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot

The resulting openafs-modules-dkms.deb will now compile with the
shipped debian 6.5 linux kernel.

Hopefully openafs 1.8.11 is coming out soon too, and that should have
support up to 6.7.

Cheers,
Gergely
