Subject[ANNOUNCE] autofs 5.1.4 release
Date
Hi all,

It's finally time for a release, autofs-5.1.4.

Unfortunately there were a couple of annoying regressions in 5.1.3.

I believe they have been resolved in this release.

Also, the startup retry on the master map not available logic has
been improved so that should function properly now and help with
reported problems of startup failures. The delay is configurable
in case the default is not sufficient.

A new amd mount type has been added. The amd mount type "program"
has been added which allows a user provided program to be given
in a map entry that will be used for performing the mount and
optionally another program to be used at umount.

Additionally there are a number of bug fixes and other minor
improvements.

autofs
======

The package can be found at:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5/

It is autofs-5.1.4.tar.[gz|xz]

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

rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.1.4.tar.gz

and the binary rpm by using:

rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.1.4.tar.gz

See the README.amd-maps file for information about using amd format
maps.

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