There have been three recent additions to the AFS User Contributed
collection:
- A helpful "package" tool from the Andrew cell at Carnegie Mellon University
- A set of scripts for the SGI machine from Fermilab
- A set of AFS binaries for the Sun386i system from MIT
The afs-contrib area is accessible via AFS through the path
/afs/transarc.com/public/afs-contrib. For anonymous FTP access,
see the directory pub/afs-contrib on the host grand.central.org.
The following files have recently been added or updated:
0] afs-contrib/README & afs-contrib/Index

obtaining and submitting contributions. The Index file summarizes
all the current contributions.
1] afs-contrib/tools/pckg
A tool which creates a package description file by analyzing the
configuration of a local disk. It can be thought of as the inverse

package input files for new operating systems. Submitted by Dan

2] afs-contrib/tools/translator-scripts
A set of shell scripts which implement the AFS commands (such as
bos, fs, and klog) for the
3] afs-contrib/bin/apollo-client
A binary distribution of the AFS client software for the Apollo /
Domain system, sr10.2 or later. Server functionality is not
provided. Sources are not available. The "Readme" file gives
detailed installation instructions.
You only need to copy the "Readme" and "Apollo-AFS.tar" files. For
reference, the tar file has been extracted along side the other
files.
Enjoy!
