** Description changed:

- Looks like we need to patch for 3.8.0 changes again in the LTS…
+ [Impact]
+ Since the backported Raring kernel 3.8 was released into Precise and is 
installed by default, OpenAFS cannot be installed on Precise.  The out-of-tree 
OpenAFS kernel module needs to be upgraded to support kernel 3.8.
+ 
+ This happened before for the backported Quantal kernel 3.5 (bug
+ 1015925), but this time so many patches are needed that it’s less risky
+ to take a new upstream stable release, which is already well-tested,
+ than to try to decide which patches to cherry-pick.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ apt-get install openafs-modules-dkms
+ (This should succeed on all supported Precise kernels, 3.2, 3.5, and 3.8.)
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ OpenAFS 1.6.5 has been well-tested in the OpenAFS PPA 
https://launchpad.net/~openafs/+archive/stable, which has many users at MIT.  
The 1.6.x series is focused on important bug fixes and new kernel support (with 
main development happening on the master branch that will become 1.8.x, and 
Windows development happening on 1.7.x).
