Coda-6.9.3, LWP-2.4, RPC2-2.7, RVM-1.15 We haven't had a new Coda release in a while, so there are changes all across the board. Binary packages have been built for Fedora Core 5 and Debian stable (both x86-only). An up-to-date Windows build should appear on ftp.coda fairly soon as well. Otherwise use the source which can be found at, http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/src Or ask, as I may just be able to find a virtual machine where I can build for your specific OS/architecture/distribution. Jan Bug fixes --------- * Avoid sprintf overflows when building tar headers for CML checkpoint files. (Adam Goode) * Fix gcodacon python path. (Greg Troxel) * When a new user is added, auth2 would fail for the first login attempt. (Rune) * Several cygwin updates. (Phil Nelson) * When creating a new volume mountpoint, flush any kernel caches of previously failed lookups. * Make sure objects are at least demoted when we are unable to kill them. * Avoid venus crash when writing to a file that is reintegrating. * Fix "fsobj::AttachChild: not dir" failures during recovery. * Updatefetch failed to load a recently updated file. * Reinstate lost include for netdb.h in kerberos authentication code. * Several SFTP improvements, make retransmission timing tighter, be more conservative when to retransmit. * Newly created files and directories sometimes became inaccessible when reintegration happens before we sent the reply back to the kernel. Enhancements ------------ * Add notification popups and normalize status texts for gcodacon. (Adam Goode) * Various gcodacon improvements. * Include venus-setup in Debian's coda-client package. * Increase default reintegration time period. * cfs forcereintegrate will retry reintegration even if we previously detected a conflict. * set group id in checkpoint tar headers to nfsnobody/nogroup/65534. Build fixes ----------- * Update automake/autoconf stuff. (Adam Goode) * Fix string constant to char * casts. * Use pkg-config for lwp, rpc2 and rvm libraries. * Build shared libraries on cygwin. * Fix libseg link dependencies, link libseg against librvm and libseglwp against librvmlwp. * Fix infinite loop when makecontext fails during the lwp configure test. * Mark lwp's process.S assembly code as not requiring an executable stack.Received on 2008-01-11 17:29:54
