FreeBSD

In the ftp area, there are packages for the coda-client, coda-server, coda_doc and coda_intro. coda_intro has information to tell you how to get started using Coda. On a FreeBSD -current machine, you will find the Coda ports under /usr/ports/net.

NOTE: Coda Release 5.0 and onwards are GPL'ed.
NOTE: Coda 5.3.4 and higher need an installed lwp-1.1 library.

• FreeBSD-current x86 ELF Coda release 5.2.x (packages) ,
• FreeBSD-3.1 x86 ELF Coda release 5.2.x (packages),
  FreeBSD-3.1 x86 ELF Coda development release 5.3.x (packages) ,
• FreeBSD-2.2.5 x86 Coda release 5.2.x (packages),
  FreeBSD-2.2.5 x86 Coda development release 5.3.x (packages) ,

Linux

• Linux-x86 Coda release 5.2.7-1 (RPMs)
  Linux-x86 Coda development release 5.3.4-1 (RPMs) both compiled on RedHat 5.2.
  Coda 5.3.4 and higher also need lwp-1.1-1.i386.rpm.
• Debian packages for Coda release 5.2.0
  Check ftp.debian.org:/pub/debian/projects/experimental, there are probably more up-to-date builds there
  (packaged by Anders Hammarquist < iko(at)iko.pp.se > )
• Linux-sparc(32/64) Coda release 5.2.2-1 (RPMs)
  compiled on RedHat 6.0, so they are linked against glibc-2.1.
  (built by Ian C. Blenke < ian(at)blenke.com > )

NetBSD

In the ftp area, there are packages for the coda-client, coda-server, coda_doc and coda_intro. coda_intro has information to tell you how to get started using Coda. On a NetBSD -current machine, you will find the Coda ports under /usr/pkgsrc/net.

NOTE: Coda Release 5.0 and onwards are GPL'ed.
NOTE: Coda 5.3.4 and higher need an installed lwp-1.1 library.

• NetBSD-current x86 Coda release 5.2.x (packages and pkgsrc stuff) ,
• NetBSD-1.4 x86 Coda release 5.2.x (packages and pkgsrc stuff) ,
• NetBSD-1.3 x86 Coda release 5.2.x (packages and pkgsrc stuff),
  NetBSD-1.3 x86 Coda development release 5.3.x (packages and pkgsrc stuff) ,

Windows 95/98/NT

• Windows 95/98 client and some tools
  note: clog is broken
• Windows 95/98/NT server
• There is no Windows NT client available, yet.

Solaris

There are no pre-built binaries for the Solaris port. The code is not very well tested. To give it a try, just download the following files, which should be usable to build both the loadable kernel module, the Coda client, and the Coda server.

• Coda sources
• Solaris kernel module for Coda clients

NOTE: Coda Release 5.0 and onwards are GPL'ed.

To make the transition for the *BSD users easier, we install Coda 5.2 into the package area net/coda5_client and net/coda5_server. The old packages can remain on your system as net/coda_client and net/coda_server. We will not be enhancing/maintaining any of this old code. The files in the coda5_server and coda_server packages install into the same place; as is true for the client. You can not readily keep both new and old Coda running on a single machine. Further, a Coda 5.2 server can not interoperate with a Coda 4.x client and vice versa.
