package: wnpp severity: normal IBM announced at LinuxWorld the "Open AFS" release of AFS under the IPL; relevant URLs include
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/ http://www.transarc.com AFS is the "Andrew File System", as originally done at CMU and spun off to Transarc which is mostly owned by IBM. It has critical features like volume migration, cryptographic security, access control lists, and an online backup/cloning system that makes consistent backups possible. (It is the filesystem of choice at large educational institutions.) If you're familiar with CODA, this is the commercialized predecessor; if you're familiar with Arla, this is the thing with which it is compatible. The source itself is supposed to be released in September 2000, that is of course critical for this ITP. _Mark_ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Herd of Kittens Debian Package Maintainer
