Ian Wienand 439da9ec02 openafs-client: ensure latest package and reorder install
We've noticed that openafs was not getting upgraded to the PPA version
on one of our opendev.org mirrors.  Switch install of packages to
"latest" to make sure it upgrades (reboots to actually apply change
unresolved issue, but at least package is there).

Also, while looking at this, reorder this to install the PPA first,
then ensure we have the kernel headers, then build the openafs kernel
modules, then install.  Add a note about having to install/build the
modules first.

An ansible role to configure an OpenAFS client

Note

This role uses system packages where available, but for platforms or architectures where they are not available will require external builds. Defaults will pick external packages from OpenStack Infra builds, but you should evaluate if this is suitable for your environment.

This role configures the host to be an OpenAFS client. Because OpenAFS is very reliant on distribution internals, kernel versions and host architecture this role has limited platform support. Currently supported are

  • Debian family with system packages available
  • Ubuntu Xenial with ARM64, with external 1.8 series packages
  • CentOS 7 with external packages
