Hi all,

An update is overdue so here it is.

It's mostly a bug fix update.

autofs
======

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

It is autofs-5.1.2.tar.[gz|xz]

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

rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.1.2.tar.gz

and the binary rpm by using:

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