Subject: OpenAFS on FreeBSD Progress
Message-ID: <48D70F61.0@highperformance.net>

At the beginning of the year, there was a discussion on a port of 
OpenAFS, especially the client/cache manager for FreeBSD.  Did this 
discussion bear any fruit?

I'm considering switching to Debian on my desktop to get OpenAFS.  I'd 
wait if I knew an OpenAFS port was forthcoming.
