Ian Wienand 33773388a1 openafs-client: arch fixes
The lookup() happens on the local host, not the remote host.  ergo we
were never using the Debian.aarch64.yaml file in production anyway
(where bridge is x86 so includes only the x86 file).

So clearly it is not necessary; as we have production ARM64 mirrors
using the base file.  This is OK because we build the packages in the
PPA for x86 and arm64.

We can drop openafs_client_apt_repo which isn't used any more.

Follow-on will improve the testing of this.

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 LTS family with external 1.8 series packages
  • CentOS 7 and 8 with external packages
