ANNOUNCE: nfs-utils-2.3.1 released.

ANNOUNCE: nfs-utils-2.3.1 released.

[Steve Dickson]

Hello,

nfs-utils-2.3.1 has just been released.

The main reason for this release is the SONAME 
is changing on libnfsidmap library. The API is 
being tidied up so internal functions and variable
are no longer exposed. 

This should only cause pain for a couple of packages
which probably mean there will be some growing pains.

Down the road I would like to see no dependence on
this library so it can become an static library
internal to nfs-utils. 

The tarballs can be found in
  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs-utils/2.3.1/
or
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfs/files/nfs-utils/2.3.1

The change log is in
   https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs-utils/2.3.1/2.3.1-Changelog
or
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfs/files/nfs-utils/2.3.1/

The git tree is at:
   git://linux-nfs.org/~steved/nfs-utils

Please send comments/bugs to linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org

What do you think Jeff, you introduced this code 8 years ago and this
switch statement has always been broken.
Does anyone use this code?  Should we fix it, it just remove it?

This looks like a bug in automake???  ../../support/nfs/libnfs.a is
listed as _LDADD

https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Program-and-Library-Variables.html#index-maude_005fAR

which should add it to the 'ld' command, but I don't see that it should
be added as a dependency.

This arg has to be there because it is part of an external API.
As the function is passed as an arg to an extern function, gcc could
deduce that the signature cannot be changed just because the arg isn't
needed.

This arg doesn't need to be used (obviously) but cannot be removed.
So this is a dumb warning too.

Maybe we should add __attribute__((unused)) ??

I assume you get these errors by running "make check" without first
running "make"??
If you run "make" first, the errors go away, and you are left with the
warnings.

Maybe they are worth fixing .... let's see what Jeff thinks.

I don't have any particular attachment to this code these days. statd is
legacy code at this point. I'm fine with removing it.

If we do intend to keep it though, then we should definitely fix that
switch statement.

I really think the question is if this is dead code... lets to
the appropriate thing... with all due respect... of course! :-)

I had the same thought... I just didn't get around to asking it... 

Does anybody used this v3 testing code??? 
If it disappeared would anybody miss it???

Neil, thanks for bring this up!
