----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*sl-release-6.5-0.rolling
- Updated to point at rolling
*OpenAFS
- OpenAFS has been updated to version 1.6.5.1 from openafs.org
- The way in which OpenAFS is packaged has changed between SL6.3 and
SL6.4 it continues in SL 6.5.
This change should not alter the expected functionality.
The kmod-openafs package now depends on a kmod-openafs-<ver> package.
These '<ver>' packages are targeted at more specific kernel versions.
For example, kmod-openafs-279 is for kernels in the 2.6.32-279 series
and kmod-openafs-358 is targeted at kernels in the 2.6.32-358 series.
The openafs-module-tools package will perform the necessary module
deployment.
