It does sound quite hopeless, tried in the past already. Seems that the Novell Client for Linux is developed by the part of Novell that doesn't care at all about openSUSE.
I don't agree with this statement. If we didn't care about openSUSE then we wouldn't develop to it. And we ran into other issues with the kmp method and putting novfs in the kernel was a benefit to us. I also don't think the different release cycles are an issue.
Joe, are you sure about this? the 2.0 beta client for example installs on a 11.1 beta system (I'm on beta 5) with some hurdles (some symlinking). But the novfs for example simply can't compile (the client ships with 2.0.0-504, whereas in the kernel, 2.6.27.5 is 2.0.0-440). I'm not sure yet if THAT is the reason that I can't write to any of my netware volumes, but df shows them all having 0 bytes free... not a lot, considering that at least some of the volumes are cluster resources on a SAN and that the operational system is using those volumes for daily business. If I see that issuing bugs for the client actually has an effect (besides be writing them and then nothing happening), I will gladly do it. But at least from the past, it appears the NCL development is to much behind closed doors.

The 2.0 client includes novell-novfs which will cause problems during the install because novfs is already in the kernel (since openSUSE 11.0) With the 2.0 SP1 client that we build for openSUSE 11.0, we removed novell-novfs. However, the 2.0 SP1 client for openSUSE will not run on openSUSE 11.1 or SLE 11 due to some build issues. We are working on those build issues right now in hopes to soon have a client for SLE 11 and openSUSE 11.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
