The problem this is designed to solve: you have an RPM-based system that
uses openafs, but you upgrade your kernel to a version that is not (yet)
included in the openafs.org openafs-kernel binary RPMS.
This is designed to allow you to compile the kernel modules from the
SRPM from openafs.org; it doesn't address the rest of the configuration
issues, so it works best if you get openafs from openafs.org working,
and then reboot into your new kernel.
I've only ever run this on Fedora Core 5! I assume it would work on
other RedHat-related distros, and there's probably something .deb based
that does a similar trick.
Note that since it uses the uname command, you'll need to be running the
target kernel at the time you execute the command. You can, of course,
work your way around the problem by specifying the name of the targeted
kernel by hand, but this method seems more error-resistant.
# rpmbuild --rebuild --target=`uname -m` openafs-1.4.1-fc5.1.src.rpm
# rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/[arch]/openafs-kernel-1.4.1-[kernel
version]-[arch].rpm
