Timeframe target for OpenAFS with appropriate hack: July 2002
on Sun and Linux. SGI could be done. The code is the same. It's a
matter of everyone agreeing it's the right thing to do.
I don't know if there's a Vera problem. There IS a problem with the
online catalog, Web Barton. Apparently cascading style sheets for
proper display, and UNICODE for foreign characters are not properly
supported in Netscape 4. That was the essense of the note I forwarded
yesterday to
Discovery Council. (In retrospect I should have supplied the above
summary with the note.)
Clarification of the "Save As" problem:
It does not always hang.
But if you start Netscape 6 in your AFS home directory, and
you want to save a file in "/tmp", the UI seems to imply that the only
way to get to /tmp is to press the ".." button to go up a directory
level multiple times till you get to "/" so you can specify "tmp" there.
On the way up you hit "/afs" which does a time-consuming network
operation to every cell in the world, and Netscape seizes up until that
completes.
