User-Visible OpenAFS Changes
OpenAFS 1.6.21
All platforms
* Avoid a possible 100ms transmit delay in the RX protocol when a peer's
receive window transitions from closed to open (12627)
* Documentation improvements (12476 12477 12559[RT #133339])
All server platforms
* When bosserver is started with an unknown option, print an error message
and exit with a non-zero value rather than failing silently (12631)
All DB server platforms
* Hold the DB lock while checking for an aborted write transaction (12516)
All file server platforms
* On demand attach fileservers, don't save or restore a client's host
state if CPS ("Current Protection Subdomain") recalculation for it is
in progress, to avoid fileserver thread exhaustion (12568)
* On demand attach fileservers, avoid flooding the log with error messages,
which could happen when the fileserver was restarted while a volume was
offline (12569)
* Update a volume's "Last Update" time when its content is modified by
the salvager, to make the change visible in the output of "vos examine"
and to backup services (12633)
All client platforms
* Corrected the DCentries bucket counts for very large and zero length
files in the output of "fs getcacheparms -excessive" (12604 12605)
* Fixed a bug that prevented users with GID 2748 and 2750 from executing
the "fs sysname" command on clients running afsd with -rmtsys (12607)
* Provide a new -inumcalc switch for afsd to allow enabling the alternative
MD5 method of inode number calculation, which was previously only
possible on Linux and through the sysctl interface (12608 12632)
Linux clients
* Support for mainline kernel 4.12 and distribution kernels with backports
from it (12624 12626)
* Re-added the improved algorithm for freeing unused vcaches to reduce
memory consumption first introduced with the 1.6.18 release, together
with a fix for the issue leading to its removal in 1.6.18.2 (12448..12451)
macOS clients
* Fixed a crash while stopping the client on macOS 10.12 "Sierra" (12602)
Upstream changes:
0.104 2017-02-17 07:17:00-05:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.103-TRIAL.
0.103 2017-02-10 17:25:06-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Bug fixes]
- Path::Tiny 0.101 on Windows made `$path->absolute("/foo")` return an
absolute path starting with 'C:/foo', which was an unintentional
behavior change. This release now uses any absolute base without
further normalization.
0.101 2017-02-05 09:56:46-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Changes]
- The 'absolute' method now always returns an absolute path, even if a
user provided a relative path for the base path. The old, odd
behavior was documented, but people often don't read docs. The new
behavior avoids suprises.
[Additions]
- Added 'cached_temp' method.
0.100 2017-01-14 22:47:55-05:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.099-TRIAL.
0.099 2017-01-10 15:12:13-05:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Tests]
- Fixed tests for eventual removal of '.' from `@INC` in Perl.
[Documentation]
- Fixed filehandle mode typo.
- Fixed typo in relative() that mentioned rel2abs instead of abs2rel.
Upstream changes:
0.098 2016-10-09 23:25:11-04:00 America/New_York
- No changes from 0.097-TRIAL.
0.097 2016-09-30 22:03:10-04:00 America/New_York (TRIAL RELEASE)
[Additions]
- Added 'realpath' option for 'tempfile' and 'tempdir' for situations
where an absolute temporary path just isn't enough.
This project allows ordinary users to directly mount OS X disk images under
Linux via FUSE. darling-dmg is part of Darling - http://www.darlinghq.org
Without darling-dmg, the only way to do this would be to manually extract
the DMG file, become root and mount the HFS+ filesystem as root. This is slow,
wasteful and may even crash your system. The project's author has seen the
Linux HFS+ implementation cause kernel crashes.
Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard) introduced the concept of sparse-bundle disk images,
where the data is stored as a collection of small, fixed-size band-files
instead of as a single monolithic file. This allows for more efficient
backups of the disk image, as only the changed bands need to be stored.
One common source of sparse-bundles is Mac OS' backup utility, Time Machine,
which stores the backup data within a sparse-bundle image on the chosen
backup volume.
This software package implements a FUSE virtual filesystem for read-only
access to the sparse-bundle, as if it was a single monolithic image.
Add filesystem/squashfs 4.3
Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
It uses either gzip/xz/lzo/lz4 compression to compress both files, inodes
and directories. Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are
packed to minimise data overhead. Block sizes greater than 4K are supported
up to a maximum of 1Mbytes (default block size 128K).
Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival
use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained
block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
needed.
This package contains tools to manipulate squashfs archive files.

not 0.090, meaning that all 0.091 changes were (and are) included.

owned, as long as they are writeable.

looks at $Config{d_symlink}.

From http://blog.gluster.org/2016/06/glusterfs-3-8-released/
Gluster.org announces the release of 3.8 on June 14, 2016, marking
a decade of active development.
The 3.8 release focuses on:
- containers with inclusion of Heketi
- hyperconvergence
- ecosystem integration
- protocol improvements with NFS Ganesha
Contributed features are marked with the supporting organizations.
Automatic conflict resolution, self-healing improvements (Facebook)
Synchronous Replication receives a major boost with features
contributed from Facebook. Multi-threaded self-healing makes
self-heal perform at a faster rate than before. Automatic
Conflict resolution ensures that conflicts due to network
partitions are handled without the need for administrative
intervention
NFSv4.1 (Ganesha) - protocol
Gluster's native NFSv3 server is disabled by default with this
release. Gluster's integration with NFS Ganesha provides NFS
v3, v4 and v4.1 accesses to data stored in Gluster volume.
BareOS - backup / data protection
Gluster 3.8 is ready for integration with BareOS 16.2. BareOS
16.2 leverages glusterfind for intelligently backing up objects
stored in a Gluster volume.
"Next generation" tiering and sharding - VM images
Sharding is now stable for VM image storage. Geo-replication
has been enhanced to integrate with sharding for offsite
backup/disaster recovery of VM images. Self-healing and data
tiering with sharding makes it an excellent candidate for
hyperconverged virtual machine image storage.
block device & iSCSI with LIO - containers
File backed block devices are usable from Gluster through iSCSI.
This release of Gluster integrates with tcmu-runner
[https://github.com/agrover/tcmu-runner] to access block devices
natively through libgfapi.
Heketi - containers, dynamic provisioning
Heketi provides the ability to dynamically provision Gluster
volumes without administrative intervention. Heketi can manage
multiple Gluster clusters and will be the cornerstone for
integration with Container and Storage as a Service management
ecosystems.
glusterfs-coreutils (Facebook) - containers
Native coreutils for Gluster developed by Facebook that uses
libgfapi to interact with gluster volumes. Useful for systems
and containers that do not have FUSE.
For more details, our release notes are included:
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/release-3.8/doc/release-notes/3.8.0.md
The release of 3.8 also marks the end of life for GlusterFS 3.5,
there will no further updates for this version.
for all pkgsrc dir/file ownership rules. Fixes unprivileged
user/group names from leaking into binary packages, manifest as
non-fatal chown/chgrp failure messages at pkg_add time.
Bump respective packages' PKGREVISION.
