Hi All,

I created SL4 packages for the latest OpenAFS release candidate, available 
from http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~wiesand/SL4/openafs-1.4.0rc6/

Besides the srpm, there are binary packages for i686 and amd64. The
clients received some light testing and seem to work well on both UP ans 
SMP. The servers have not been tested yet.

The list of changes w.r.t. the 1.3.82 coming with SL4.1 looks long, but I
think they're all minor, and everything should be compatible. Many of 
the changes make our packages more similar to the "official" ones for 
RHEL4 by Derek Atkins, and I of course borrowed from those (as well of 
the packages for RHEL4 made by Chris Wing).

One incompatible future change we could consider would be to split the 
init script into ones for client and server. Not only because it makes 
sense IMHO, but also because that's what is done in the packages available 
from openafs.org. Opinions?

There are still bugs being fixed between release candidates, hence it 
would be a good thing if SL4 users could help finding them, and I think 
rc6 is worth a try.

Cheers,
 	Stephan
