[Repost from freebsd-questions as I was told to ask here.]

I tried to get an AFS client on my 8.0-RELEASE (or 8-STABLE) system.

What is the status of AFS on FreeBSD?

Neither OpenAFS nor Arla seem to be in ports.

I found the freebsd-afs mailing list with many posting from 2008/Dec but
nothing from 2009 or 2010. The port-freebsd list on openafs.org has
nothing newer, either.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/afs has instructions for Arla, but the build
fails on 8.0-RELEASE.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/afs-server seems to be even older.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/AFS_using_OpenAFS_%2B_Arla gives me: "You are
not allowed to view this page."

Is there anything more current that I missed?

Thanks,
Jan Henrik

Hi,
openafs-client is not stable on freebsd 8, or 9 but i think it is
usable on freebsd 7.X.

That was my impression from the sources I found, too. Unfortunately, all
my machines are running 8.0-RELEASE or 8-STABLE.

I wonder what happened to the effort on freebsd-afs (Cc) that had an
abrupt end at the end of 2008. Has the port been given up?

Cheers,
