[ANNOUNCE] autofs 5.0.6 release

[ANNOUNCE] autofs 5.0.6 release

[Ian Kent]

Hi all,

This is long overdue, even so, I think there are still some things
that need fixing but aren't clear cut. However there are too many
patches to delay any longer so here is release 5.0.6.

The kernel patches are not being updated any more because of the
introduction of the vfs-automount changes to the VFS. If there
are needs in this area we will need to discuss how to deal with
them on the mailing list.

Known issues (haven't changed since 5.0.5)
==========================================

- Quoted strings in the master map are still not yet handled.
- There is a problem with "mount --move" in some releases of SuSE
  (perhaps other distributions as well)  which can cause mounts to
  not be moved correctly resulting in /etc/mtab continually growing
  due to invalid entries.
- When the active restart is being used it will happily re-connect a
  mount that is unresponsive, perhaps because the server is not
  responding. A forced expire (USR1 signal) should be enough to clean
  up.

autofs
======

The package can be found at:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5

It is autofs-5.0.6.tar.[gz|bz2]

No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using:

rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.0.6.tar.gz

and the binary rpm by using:

rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.0.6.tar.gz

See the INSTALL file for information about configure options and
kernel requirements.

Here are the entries from the CHANGELOG which outline the updates:

Ian,

Keep up the good work and thanks again for maintaining this.

We will wait for our distribution (RHEL) to backport these changes.

Most of this is in RHEL already.
If there are specific bug fixes or things that are not yet included log
a bug and request it.
