IMHO backporting OpenAFS from trusty to precise (-backports) would be the best in this case and probably meet with customers/users requirement/expectation (just like Micheal pointed out).
With that in mind, I have backported openafs, from trusty (1.6.7-1) to precise (1.6.7-1ubuntu1), and made available packages into a ppa that customers and users can access. Of course, just like in universe repository (where openafs stands), support here is based on a best-effort/community scenario. https://launchpad.net/~inaddy/+archive/lp1206387 I do need for this packages to be tested since I'm asking here for this to be available on -backports repository as well. For now, I was able to compile successfully openafs dkms on different kernels (3.5, 3.8, 3.11, 3.13) running on precise. inaddy@12-04-precise-lts-amd64:/var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.6.7$ find . -name openafs.ko ./3.13.0-27-generic/x86_64/module/openafs.ko ./3.8.0-41-generic/x86_64/module/openafs.ko ./3.11.0-22-generic/x86_64/module/openafs.ko ./3.5.0-49-generic/x86_64/module/openafs.ko Hope this helps...
