Hi All,

please find my first proposal for the next generation of OpenAFS packages
for SL4 here:

http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~wiesand/SL4/openafs-1.4.1/
/afs/ifh.de/user/w/wiesand/public/www/SL4/openafs-1.4.1/

There's a src.rpm and binaries for i386 and x86_64. Notice all this has 
had very little testing yet. I just verified that the client starts and
can read files from AFS correctly on i686-smp and x86_64-smp, without 
crashing immediately.

The most significant change w.r.t 1.4.0-8.SL is the new upstream version.
Here's the changelog entry:

- new upstream release with critical bugs fixed in the fileserver
- removed patch 1002 (rra-soname-bug18767.patch), it's in upstream now
- new patch 1003 openafs-1.4.1-moduleparam.patch to get modules built on 2.6.9
  (shamelessly stolen from Derek Atkins' "official" SRPM)  
- pthreaded butc is now the default; package butc.lwp in addition, instead of
  a second butc.pthread
- adapted to upstream changes w.r.t. man pages (there are quite a few more
  now), again borrowing from Derek Atkins' spec, but still preferring the
  enhanced ones from #19268, and packaging many more of them
- spec changes to allow module build for hugemem kernels (Fabien Wernli)
- the same for the new largesmp variant
- added build requirements on gcc, flex, bison, ncurses-devel (Chris Huebsch)
- make sure /usr/kerberos/bin is leading in PATH when configuring krb5 stuff

Please test, and/or let me know what you think about them.

Cheers,
	Stephan
