Title:
  Sync openafs 1.6.6~pre2-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Status in “openafs” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Please sync openafs 1.6.6~pre2-1 (universe) from Debian unstable
  (main)

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
    * Include patches by Anders Kaseorg to fix FTBFS on trusty's kernel.
      (LP: #1246675)
  These patches were upstreamed in 1.6.6pre1, with further corrections in 1.6.6pre2.

  Changelog entries since current trusty version 1.6.5.1-1ubuntu1:

  openafs (1.6.6~pre2-1) unstable; urgency=low

    * New upstream pre-release.
      - Linux kernels up to 3.12 are now supported, including kernels with
        user namespace support enabled (which affects Debian's 3.12-1 kernel
        and newer).
      - Fixed core dumps into AFS with current kernels.
      - When starting the client fails, backing device information created
        in sysfs is now properly cleared.
      - The AFS mountpoint specified in the cacheinfo file must now be an
        absolute path.
      - Stop tracking file locks on read-only volumes.  Write locks always
        fail and read locks always succeed.
      - New fs flushall command to discard all cached data.
      - Fixed a bug that could cause the client to incorrectly believe its
        cache was up to date.
      - New -rxmaxfrags switch to afsd to limit the number of UDP fragments
        sent or received per RX packet.
      - Fixed afsd threads entering an infinite loop.
      - The file server now ignores any vice partitions with a NeverAttach
        flag file present in the root directory.
      - Enabled server-side NAT pings to refresh NAT timeouts.
      - Forcing file server CPS recalculation (for IP ACLs) is now
        restricted to administrators.
      - vos examine of a volume in a transaction is now shown as busy again
        rather than off-line.
      - Multiple bug fixes to the salvager.
      - Fixed a bug that could cause state information to be discarded when
        restarting a large or busy file server.
      - Fixed a vlserver bug during file server address registration.
      - volserver supports a new -preserve-vol-stats option, which preserves
        access statistics across volume restore and reclone operations.
      - Releasing a volume after adding a new RO site no longer touches the
        existing RO sites if the volume has not changed since the last
        release.
      - Fixed undefined ptserver behavior with too many allocated PTS ids.
      - Avoid redefining assert in public header files.
      - Documentation, diagnostics, and error message improvements.

  openafs (1.6.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    * New upstream release.
      - Fix support for tmpfs as the cache filesystem.
      - Support kernels with backported changes affecting getname/putname.
    * Exit successfully in the openafs-client init script if /sbin/afsd
      doesn't exist, indicating that openafs-client is not installed.
    * Load /lib/lsdb/init-functions in the openafs-client init script as the
      first step towards upstart or systemd support.
    * Update standards version to 3.9.5 (no changes required).
