Download openafs-kernel-source rpm and install on build system. The SRPM from https://linat05.grid.umich.edu/pub/SLC/4x/custom/SRPMS/openafs-1.4.6-1.1_AGLT2.src.rpm will build one basically configured for AGLT2 (perhaps nothing more than setting ThisCell and making sure we are right in CellServDB). To compile a newer version replace the openafs source with a newer tarball and edit the spec as may be needed.
- For following commands assume we cd to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS after installing SRPM
- Need to define several variables on the command line for rpmbuild:
rpmbuild -bb --define "build_userspace 0" --define "build_modules 1" --define "kernvers x.x.x-x" openafs.spec
- Kernvers is not required. Default is to build the current running version (? I think)
- Use "-ba" (build-all) or "-bs" (build source) to get a new SRPM if this is a new version or has other changes to the spec
[root@cc-100-0 redhat]# rpmbuild -bb --define "build_user_space 0" SPECS/openafs.SLx.spec

Can also skip installing SRPM step and just do:
rpmbuild --rebuild --target=`uname -m` --define "build_userspace 0" --define "build_modules 1" openafs-1.4.6-1.1_AGLT2.src.rpmProduces /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/openafs-kernel-smp-1.4.6-...rpm You should be able to install that rpm (try rpm -i --oldpackage), start the service (service openafs-client start) and see stuff in /afs... -- TomRockwell - 20 Mar 2009
