[ANNOUNCE] autofs 5.2.0 release

[Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>]

Hi all,

A release is long overdue so here it is, autofs-5.2.0.

There are quite a lot of changes in the release which are composed of
bug fixes, general infrastructure imporovements and fixes arising from
some of the improvements.

I was hoping to include an initial implementation of a automount
network
management utility but there's still more to do on it. Specifically the
authentiaction is not yet ok and the reporting output also needs more
work. Not only that there's also a need to work with upstream selinux
folks due to changes for the utility rather than expect the downstream
maintainers to fix it after the fact.

======

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

It is autofs-5.2.0.tar.[gz|xz]

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

rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.1.9.tar.gz

and the binary rpm can be built by using:

rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.1.9.tar.gz 

Note that some of the foreign language descriptions in the spec file
cuase a problem which iis easily fixed by removing them:
