Hi guys, in order to provide a state of the art portmapper with ipv6 support and all nfs4 stuff, we should replace portmap with rpcbind in [core].

Simply replace portmap daemon with rpcbind in /etc/rc.conf

please signoff both packages

fam needs a bit more changing as the daemon script still looks for portmap.

Allan fixed in latest package greetings tpowa

Why did my console become a how-to guide? This is pretty excessive in my opinion, especially since it still says in the message to refer to the wiki...

These are the kind of messages that make me never want to read these, and we wonder why users ignore them.

(26/36) upgrading nfs-utils [#####################] 100%

==> ==> PLEASE NOTE: ==> Extended configuration options for NFS (clients & server) are available in ==> /etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf and in /etc/conf.d/nfs-server.conf ==> ==> Please refer to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs ==> for further information on NFS; for NFSv4, refer to ==> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFSv4

==> If you plan on using NFSv4, in /etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf set: ==> 1) NEED_IDMAPD="yes" to start rpc.idmapd - on clients & server. ==> rpc.idmapd needs to be properly configured; edit at least the ==> Domain line in /etc/idmapd.conf. ==> 2) NEED_GSSD="yes" to start rpc.gssd (GSS authentication) - only on clients. ==> 3) Add "rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs 0 0" to /etc/fstab. ==> If not mounted when the init script nfs-common starts it tries to mount the ==> filesystem automatically (if rpc.idmapd or rpc.gssd is needed); ==> see /etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf for extended configuration options.

==> Only on server /etc/conf.d/nfs-server.conf set: ==> 1) add "nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd -o rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0" to /etc/fstab. ==> If not mounted when the init script nfs-server starts it tries to mount the ==> filesystem automatically; see /etc/conf.d/nfs-server.conf for extended ==> configuration options. ==> 2) NEED_SVCGSSD="yes" to start rpc.svcgssd (GSS authentication) - on server Sorry on this, I took this from the AUR package, i don't know how extensive you want install messages :D

Yeah sure will shorten this and provide a announcement with the best upgrade way to new nfs-utils. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

I like to see it replaced with a short message and a wiki link instead. I think xorg-server has a good example for that. Also, the check should be versioned. If you're upgrading from a version that has the message, don't show it again. It is already versioned.
