Beta Packages

If you want to try beta packages, just add this line to your source repository.

deb ftp://ftp.upsa.es/Software/debian/ubuntu/nfsv4/ ./

Other Considerations

  • Some kernel modules need to be loaded before nfs exports are available. Should we add these to /etc/modules or do it in another way?
  • To have kerberos security support, we need a kerberos working system. More info at UbuntuEnterprise

Hoary Packages

You can install backported linux-image (patched with the latest CITI diff) and nfsv4 packages if you add the following lines to your sources.list:

deb     http://ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at/ubuntu.uniklu/  hoary  uniklu uniklu-testing                                                                  deb-src http://ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at/ubuntu.uniklu/  hoary  uniklu uniklu-testing  

Also add the offical Ubuntu backports:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  hoary-backports  main restricted universe multiverse 

The uniklu archive signed - if you want get rid of apt-get warnings:

$ wget http://ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at/uniklu-debuild.pub
$ sudo apt-key add uniklu-debuild.pub 

To install the backported and modified kernel enter:

# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.12-9-686 

and check if its really downloaded from http://ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at
