Just a clarification that came up from a zephyr discussion I just had
with Charles. His was a request for source, as he clearly stated in
the email you forwarded:
} regardless, I'd like to compile a AFS 3.4 that works with the
} small changes that NetBSD1.2 has over 1.1A. Would this be
} possible? does such a thing exist already? I'd be happy to sign
} any non-disclosure agreement to the sources to do it..
It is the general policy of folks who work on NetBSD/afs to only grant
access to our sources to individuals who have access to the source in
the afsdev locker. That means those on system:source-access or
builder:afs-read. The means by which one gets on those lists is
not very clear at all.
I think the current recommendation is that users send mail to
afs-contacts@mit.edu, and in the event of no response in a reasonable
time period, send mail to afsdev@mit.edu. Another approach
would be to send mail to source-acl@mit.edu or perhaps cc that
in the initial query.
In Charles' case, it seems to me to make the most sense for him to
give some folks on netbsd-afs access to his 1.2 machine and get them
to do the build for him, so I've suggested he send mail to netbsd-afs
with that request, and so I don't think he's still concerned about
getting source himself, assuming that works (this may be an inaccurate
summarization of our conversation, however). As such, I would suggest
you assume that Charles' is no longer in need of AFS source access unless
he expliclity requests it again.
