I cvs updated coda today and built it on NetBSD/sparc 1.5 (NetBSD from cvs between 1.5 and 1.5.1). Things seem to work ok. I sent Jan a patch for one small bug in the rvm test code. The only other problem was having to do CFLAGS=-I/usr/pkg/include LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/coda to find readline. Perhaps /usr/pkg should be included by default on NetBSD? One could argue that the compiler should do this, but perhaps I'll try to make a patch. I posted a long time ago about lwp on NetBSD/sparc 1.5 (release), which didn't work. I had suspected a NetBSD rather than a coda bug. I don't know what's fixed, but the lwp test program worked ok. So people trying coda on NetBSD/sparc 1.5 should consider upgrading to the 1.5.1 release candidates. I first started up without masquerade=1 in a situation where it was necessary (a stateful firewall, but no NAT). venus behaved very badly (wedged, didn't send probes on cfs cs, etc.), but did not crash, and when I did 'vutil shutdown', figured this out, edited venus.conf, and restarted all was ok. I'm currently doing a hoard walk and faulting lots of stuff into the cache. (cvs from yesterday runs ok on NetBSD/i386 1.4.2+KAME), but that's probably less exciting news.)
