Continued FreeBSD 4.x support?

	I'm curious to know if the 4.x tree of FreeBSD is going to continue  
to be supported by arla. I'm presently running an old release  
successfully (0.38), however, I'm unable to get 0.39 thru 0.41 to  
build for various reasons.

	0.39 breaks on compile with a syntax error in nnpfs_vnodeops-bsd.c.
	
	0.40 breaks on compile with a file not found issue (nnpfs_syscalls- 
wrap-freebsd.c:49: kafs.h)

	0.41 breaks on compile with: nnpfs/nnpfs.h:105: field 'dev_lock' has  
incomplete type.

	Any info would be appreciated.

Paul

Obviously, we haven't done any testing on 4.x for some time. I don't expect
we'll do it for future releases either.

In general we don't knowingly remove support for old OS:es unless we end up
with too complicated code, but the main idea is to focus on recent
releases. And as you say, older arla tends to compile on older OS:es.

As long it doesn't get burdensome or the code ugly, patches are welcome.

I don't know anyone here (*) who will do that. So no, FreeBSD 4 will not 
get any "support" from anyone I know. I don't know of any machines 
running FreeBSD 4 in production that would need an AFS client and
can't  be upgraded to FreeBSD 5.

We (su.se) use 0.38ish on a 4.10ish host. So far I've not feelt any real
need to update the code since it works.

Its a feature of the sl library used to parse the command, if its copied
From heimdal-0.8 (when its released), its possibled to return non 0 error
codes. Not before then.

I've merged ola eriksson's patches in pkgsrc-wip and added autoconf glue.

The diff is here:
http://people.su.se/~lha/patches/arla/netbsd-3.99.14

I've commited it to the HEAD tree.
