We don't have another nfs server currently.  However, if the requisites in
replicator are generic nfsd funcionality, and no special feature is needed,
you should allow other packages providing nfs-server to satisfy it.

If nfs-user-server is a problem for a specific reason, I suggest:

  Depends: nfs-kernel-server | nfs-server
  Conflicts: nfs-user-server

Then we port, for example, FreeBSD nfsd [1] to GNU/kFreeBSD, we can make it
provide nfs-server and everything will work.

This is the theory.

Acutally (you have to test it to believe it) nfs-user-server have a bug 
with root_spashing which prevent replicator from working correctly. So 
forcing nfs-kernel-server is a way to save hours of debuging to the user.




If nfs-user-server is a problem for a specific reason, I suggest:

  Depends: nfs-kernel-server | nfs-server
  Conflicts: nfs-user-server



This sounds a reasonnable solution. I'll make test with recent version 
of the user-server and will act according to the results.


Thank you for this suggestion.

Bug#336376: depends on Linux-specific nfs-kernel-server

2005-10-29 Thread Robert Millan
Package: replicator
Severity: important

This package depends on nfs-kernel-server, which is Linux-specific, so it's not
installable on GNU/kFreeBSD.

Please could you make it:

  nfs-kernel-server | nfs-server

so that any other nfs server can be used?

thanks

Hi,

correctly for replicator. Can you test another nfs server before I
