[fedfs-utils] [PATCH 0/2] Proposing fedfs-utils 0.9.3

[Chuck Lever]

I propose the third maintenance release of fedfs-utils 0.9 to
improve distributions' ability to package fedfs-utils.

I'd like to see fedfs-utils 0.9, which uses the standards-based
NSDB schema and DNS SRV record, in EL6-based distributions.
Unfortunately, RHEL 6 does not package uriparser, which is used to
construct and parse NFS URIs stored in NSDBs.  liburiparser is not
even in the el6 branch of EPEL.

The dependency chain to get the uriparser packages into EPEL would
take a while to address.  This fedfs-utils maintenance release
provides a hand-coded alternative for distributions that lack
liburiparser.

An upstream solution is required because changes are needed in the
configure script, which cannot be regenerated on older distributions
due to the script requiring autotools newer than version 2.64.

As this solution is a hack solely for EL6-based distributions which
will never see fedfs-utils releases later than 0.9, I intend to
exclude it from future major releases of fedfs-utils, unless there
really is no alternative.

Review period ends midnight ET Tuesday, September 3, 2013.
