nfs-utils-1.2.3

New release

Version increment to 1.1.6

Noticed this amongst the mass of version updates. 1.2.0 has been out since 2nd June (although I haven't built it yet).

Version upgrade to 1.2.2.

I've put a patch in patches/ to build without libcap (and therefore without libattr). So far, tested as a client on nfs v3. To build, I had to pass --disable-nfsv4 as well as --disable-gss. It still links mount.nfs4 to mount. If I try to omit the switch to disable nfsv4 it barfs on a missing header. I have no current interest in nfs v4 so I'm fine with this.

The entries in fstab now require vers=3 amoung the mount options.

Turns out I wasn't testing the new system (copied grub.cfg entry, forgot to change root=). There is a further requirement to get an nfs3 client working: I'd built libtirpc, but rpc.statd fails to start. Log showed

rpc.statd[8519]: Version 1.2.2 starting
rpc.statd[8519]: Flags: TI-RPC
rpc.statd[8519]: Running as root.  chown /var/lib/nfs to choose different user
rpc.statd[8519]: failed to create RPC listeners, exiting

Solved by adding

--enable-tirpc=no

to the configure.

Probably also will benefit from not running as root.

Updated milestone to 6.7

Another newer version.

More importantly, we had comprehensive build notes for 1.2 from Tobias Gasser back in November, ​http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2010-November/020746.html and I keep forgetting to note that those worked for me (with version increments, and ignoring the PAM part), and NOT using my earlier patch.

Specifically, tested as a *client* for nfs3 on LFS-svn at the end of December 2010, adding attr-2.4.44, libcap-2.19 [with sed for /usr/lib ], libevent-2.0.10-stable, libnfsidmap-0.24, and nfs-utils-1.2.3 with --disable-tirpc, --disable-gss, --with-tcp-wrappers (my reading is that the other config options Tobias specified are the defaults).

nfs-utils-1.2.5 are in BLFS SVN. Marking as fixed.
