ANNOUNCE: nfs-utils 1.0.7-pre1

ANNOUNCE: nfs-utils 1.0.7-pre1

[Neil Brown]

I have made available a pre-release of nfs-utils 1.0.7.

It can be downloaded from 
  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=14
or
  http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs/


The reason for the pre-release is that there are a number of changes that
I haven't had a chance to test properly, and some that I am not in a position
to test.

There are an assortment of bug-fixes, some support for fail-over clustering,
and support for 'gss' authentication.

I would appreciate it if people could check that it compiles and works for them,
and let me know the success rate.

I hope to put this out as a final 1.0.7 before Christmas.  Having lots of people 
say "Yes, I've tried it, and it works OK" would make a great Christmas present :-)

Yes........

It works better with 
    ./configure --disable-gss --disable-nfsv4

Bruce Fields would really rather distros compiled it with nfsv4
support enabled and so it made that the default.  However that
requires an extra package (or two?) which aren't commonly installed.

Bruce should be back from leave in a day or two so I might leave him
to argue further for keeping --enable-nfsv4 as the default (or to cave
it and let it be changed :-))

The --enable-nfsv4 option just builds and installs rpc.idmapd, which is
required for nfsv4.

This doesn't mean rpc.idmapd has to be run by default.  But by
installing it, a distribution makes it convenient for users to try nfsv4
if they want.

The dependency on libnfsidmap should be easy to satisfy: you can get
the latest libnfsidmap tarball from

	http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/

which includes all the infrastructure to build a Debian package.  Or
look at Steve Dickson's latest Fedora nfs-utils rpm's for another
example.  (He just includes libnfsidmap with the Fedora rpm and links it
statically.)

I was hopping that the following two (small but important for HA) changes
be included.

1. statd doesn't exit when called in notify mode (-N)
      http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-nfs&m=110062624418905&w=2

2. send the notify message on the same interface as the address in the -n
option
      http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-nfs&m=110064006512730&w=2

Thanks, Marc.

Ok, they are in the CVS now, thanks.

Here is an update of our "fix autotools to make nfs-utils crosscompile"
patch: 

	http://www.pengutronix.de/software/nfs-utils/nfs-utils-1.0.7-pre1-ptx1.patch.gz

We could not test the NFSv4 stuff, kerberos and gss, but the other
things seem to work. The patch was cleaned up and doesn't touch the
distribution code any more.

It does seem to add back the etc/nodist files.  I assume that was just
an accident?

I havn't followed the discussion in this direction; it seems that they
have been removed on purpose? :-)

Yes.  I was worried that they weren't being used or maintained, so I
proposed that they be removed.  No one objected.  If I was wrong, and
somebody is actually using them, then they should speak up.

In any case, that's a separate issue from the build system improvements,
so shouldn't be in the same patch.
