* Switch to quilt for managing patches to the upstream source.
* Stop installing the Administrator's Reference. All of the useful
  information in here has been converted to man pages.
* Use the upstream man page for pt_util, which lets us remove the
  docbook-to-man build dependency.
* Update to the latest CellServDB from grand.central.org.
* Trim additional unuseful debug information from openafs-dbg.
* Restructure the source for the module package. The build files for
  the module build are now in debian/module in the source package and
  there is a completely separate rules file. This way, the module build
  rules don't have to depend on quilt and the structure is clearer.
* Fix debhelper dependencies for the module build.
* Update module standards version to 3.7.2 (no changes required).

* Apply upstream patch from Jeffrey Hutzelman to fix syscall probing on
  AMD64 with Linux 2.6.22 kernels. (Closes: #430179)
* Add a union to des_ks_struct and reorder includes to get the correct
  alignment for DES code on SPARC. Thanks, Chaskiel Grundman. Partly
  addresses #415952.
* Fix a typo in debian/kern-sysname that caused openafs-modules-source
  to still assume all ia64 systems used Linux 2.4. Thanks, Jakob
  Haufe. (Closes: #432344)
* Use LSB logging functions for openafs-fileserver and support passing
  arguments to bosserver in /etc/default/openafs-fileserver by setting
  DAEMON_ARGS.
* Clean up more completely after a purge of openafs-fileserver. Remove
  the files created by the server in /var/lib/openafs/local, remove
  KeyFile and CellServDB.old from /etc/openafs/server, and remove
  BosConfig from /etc/openafs.

* Apply upstream patch from Jeffrey Hutzelman to fix kernel module
  builds on ppc64. (Closes: #427555)
* Apply upstream patches for Linux 2.6.22 support. (Closes: #428401)
* Apply upstream patch to fix the AFS /proc structure under Linux
  2.6.22.1 and later.
* Move /etc/openafs/server-local to /var/lib/openafs/local. Most of the
  files here are automatically generated and hence not configuration
  files, and the file server has to write to this directory to start (so
  having it in /etc breaks read-only / file systems). Thanks, Alexei
  Sheplyakov. (Closes: #405697)
* Move upserver and upclient to /usr/lib/openafs (from /usr/sbin) to
  match upstream's layout and for consistency with the other servers run
  via bosserver.
* Use --name instead of --exec in the openafs-fileserver init script and
  drop the --pidfile option (bosserver doesn't create a PID file) so
  that we don't start a second bosserver on upgrades.
* Go back to using krb5-config. The dependency problem has now been
  fixed on all platforms in the krb5 package and this is the preferred
  upstream method.

* Always generate a UUID on client startup even if for some reason we
  don't think we have any network interfaces. Otherwise, the client
  will use an all-zeroes UUID, which will collide with every other
  client with the same problem.
* When afsd is started with -rmtsys, it starts another process that afsd
  -shutdown doesn't kill. Update the init script to kill this process
  on stop. (Closes: #405982)
* Don't use krb5-config to get a library list. It runs the risk of
  encoding unnecessary library dependencies. Instead, hard-code the
  flags and libraries we actually need. (Closes: #424448)
* When loading a module using the upstream naming convention, don't
  append the .mp to the module name for modprobe. (Closes: #420597)

21. By Russ Allbery on 2007-04-19

* Debian kernels as of 2.6.20 enable CONFIG_PARAVIRT, which redefines
  several core kernel calls as redirects through a paravirt.ops table
  that's marked GPL-only. This breaks all non-GPL modules that used
  those (previously generally exported) calls even indirectly. Apply a
  hack to switch from spin_lock_irq to spin_lock_irqsave to avoid the
  paravirt redirection so that the module will build.
* Enable ucontext for all Linux builds with glibc 2.4 or later, not just
  with i386 and amd64, and (following an upstream patch) always use
  ucontext on ia64. Newer versions of glibc change internal structures
  in ways that cause the old LWP code to have stack overflows.
  (Closes: #419903)
* Apply upstream patch to crashes on contention in afs_xuser when a
  process in a PAG exits. Thanks, Chaskiel Grundman.
* When determining the AFS sysname for kernel module builds, add
  explicit cases for 2.6 kernels for all architectures that support them
  (everything except non-64-bit sparc_linux). Fixes build problems with
  ia64 and probably other architectures. Thanks to Ippokratis Pandis
  for the debugging help. (Closes: #411818)
* Prefer alpha_linux_26 to alpha_linux_24 for the non-kernel build on
  Alpha, now that the source supports it.
* Add support for the s390x architecture. Upstream supports it and
  there's no reason not to.
* Fix the watch file to remove .dfsg\d+ when comparing versions.

* New upstream release. (Closes: #415699)
  - Support newer Linux kernels. (Closes: #409797, #410120)
  - Add aklog fallbacks for null realms to support the referral
    capability in MIT Kerberos 1.6 and later. (Closes: #410314)
* Apply patch from Thomas Sesselmann to support setting options to pass
  to bosserver in /etc/default/openafs-fileserver. (Closes: #409357)
* Remove the rx_Init calls in the PAM module. The internal counters
  that had to be initialized that way have been removed.
* Now that we're running regen.sh as part of the build process, only
  patch the Autoconf source files and not the generated output to make
  the diff easier to audit.
