Jeffrey and Stephan have answered this in a couple of different ways, since think there are a few different ways to interpret this question. My opinions: If you're asking "will we continue to develop and support the existing openafs.org RPM packaging for RHEL6 and earlier?" then I think the answer is "yes". This wasn't really brought up in the release-team discussion; I just assumed we would definitely be doing this. If you're asking "will we continue to develop RPM packaging for RHEL7+ in the OpenAFS git tree?" then the answer (so far) is "no". The idea is that the development and coordination of the red hat RPM packaging is done entirely by "rpmfusion" or some other place, and openafs.org is not officially involved with it. While maybe a copy of the packaging could exist in the openafs git tree in some fashion, it would not be the canonical source of the packaging files, and not the place where packagers collaborate with each other on it. The Debian packaging is like this, and I don't think there's been any harm in it existing like that, but I'm also not really sure if it's been helpful. Also, I want to note that while in my mind "openafs.org" is not involved in the packaging in this approach... I mean, at least some of the same people are still going to be involved in one way or another. It just means that the packaging "lives" somewhere else, and the packaging is not tied to openafs release cycles. So, changing the packaging or adding an RHEL-specific patch or something doesn't involve a new version of "openafs". -- Andrew Deason adea...@sinenomine.net _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
