Package: openafs-client Version: 1.4.7.dfsg1-2 Severity: wishlist Right now, the openafs-client package includes a CellServDB in /usr/share that is only copied to /etc/openafs/CellServDB when the latter doesn't already exist. I'd really like it to do better than that.
The macos packaging includes something I wrote that merges CellServDB updates into a possibly user-modified copy (it does this by keeping a copy of the previous master CellServDB, and any cells that are the same in the old master and the active CellServDB are allowed to be updated to what is in the new master). If you wanted to get really fancy about it, you could even optionally decouple the cellservdb contents from the openafs-client package, and have an additional package with (or debconf logic in the existing package that controls...) scripts that download a copy from www.central.org and merge that in, either periodically or on demand. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openafs-client depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080308-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages openafs-client recommends: ii lsof 4.78.dfsg.1-4 List open files ii openafs-modules-2 1.4.5.dfsg1-1+2.6.22-6 AFS distributed filesystem kernel ii openafs-modules-2 1.4.6.dfsg1-2+2.6.24-3 AFS distributed filesystem kernel ii openafs-modules-s 1.4.7.dfsg1-2 AFS distributed filesystem kernel -- debconf information: * openafs-client/run-client: false * openafs-client/crypt: true * openafs-client/cachesize: 50000 * openafs-client/cell-info: * openafs-client/fakestat: true * openafs-client/afsdb: true * openafs-client/dynroot: true * openafs-client/thiscell: andrew.cmu.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
