Coda File System

coda-6.9.6 released

It was about time to push out a new release, lots of bugfixes had
accumulated and this brings things back in sync, and because of the file
descriptor leak fixes I don't have to restart the Coda servers as often.

- The biggest change is probably that the source repository has now
  fully migrated to Git and is available at
    https://github.com/cmusatyalab/coda

- Another significant change is that the download location has changed,
  all the source and binary repositories are now at,
    http://coda.cs.cmu.edu/coda/

  Everything should be signed with my GPG key which is stored in the
  root of that tree.

- Debian/Ubuntu users add Coda as a repository.

  - wget -qO- http://coda.cs.cmu.edu/coda/jaharkes.key | apt-key add -
  - add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/coda.list
        deb http://coda.cs.cmu.edu/coda/ jessie main  
        deb-src http://coda.cs.cmu.edu/coda/ jessie main  

    Replace jessie with your distribution's code-name, builds are
    available for Debian-stable (jessie), Ubuntu-14.04 (trusty),
    Ubuntu-15.10 (wily), Ubuntu-16.04 (xenial)
  - apt-get update && apt-get install coda-client

- Fedora users can use the coda-release rpm to get the yum repo
  configuration.

  - yum install http://coda.cs.cmu.edu/coda/fedora/23/i386/RPMS/coda-release-fedora-3-1.noarch.rpm
  - yum install coda-client

    Builds are available for Fedora 22 and 23

- The distributed source tarball now includes the lwp, rpc2, and rvm
  sources. If you really prefer the old broken up archives you can
  grab the Coda source and (sorry for the separate link, it will be
  part of the source archive in the next release)
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmusatyalab/coda/master/tools/make-split-dist.sh

  Extract coda-6.9.6.tar.gz, run (cd coda-6.9.6 ; ./configure) and run
  make-split-dist.sh and you should end up with,
    da19fd887800353e79f3bf4c1a70dec2f7ebd0d8  lwp-2.7.tar.gz
    947d088fc049fab42de19b5112ecae9195d21caf  rpc2-2.11.tar.gz
    206f8b9f170f82724c5cd1a7fde3d4894d8edbf9  rvm-1.18.tar.gz

  (and a version of the coda tar ball with the libraries removed)
    eb61655f7e4035ef3a72cb2844259667c10f60f1  coda-6.9.6.tar.gz
