Hi all,

It's time for an updated beta.

autofs
======

The package can be found at:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5

It is autofs-5.0.0_beta2.tar.[gz|bz2]

No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using:

rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.0.0_beta2.tar.gz

and the binary rpm by using:

rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.0.0_beta2.tar.gz

See the INSTALL file for information about configure options and
kernel requirements.

Here are the entries from the CHANGELOG which outline the updates:

  pthread compile error.
