I don't have anything to talk about (well, there's disabling TCP
listening in X on Linux, which can wait), and I haven't heard from
Bill that he has anything to talk about. So we'll meet next week.
A bit of information, though: OpenAFS works with Linux 2.4.2-2 now, so
we don't have any known fatal obstacles to running Red Hat 7.1. I've
been testing the update to 7.1 and have discovered a few curve balls
in the Red Hat RPMs but no major problems so far; the workarounds are
likely to be ugly but (given what I know) straightforward. I'm
rebuilding the Athena release against 7.1 now.
(And I've decided that we cannot continue to have the Linux update
script located on the local disk. It works fine for patch releases
but does not give us the necessary leeway to sanely work around the
curveballs Red Hat throws us for OS updates. /etc/athena/update_ws
should be a shim which runs a script out of sysprefix. Unfortunately,
I think the window has already gone past for doing this for 8.4 ->
9.0, so we have to make do with any weaknesses in the update_ws and
rpmupdate present in 8.4.25.)
