Description:
    Previous versions of the nfs-utils package included all NFS
    functionality, including client, server, and generic functionality,
    within a single package.
    
    This update divides nfs-utils into two packages, nfs-utils and
    nfs-client.
    
     o  NFS client and common NFS functionality have been relocated to
        a new package, nfs-client, which can be installed independently
        of the nfs-utils package.
    
     o  NFS server functionality has been retained in the nfs-utils
        package, which has a dependency on the nfs-client package,
        so that existing installations that include the nfs-utils
        package will continue to function correctly after updating.
    
    rPath Linux 1 now includes both packages by default.
    
    To better follow rPath's recommended best practices for building
    appliances, group-appliance-platform has been modified to contain
    nfs-client:runtime (client only) instead of nfs-utils (client
    and server).  rPath recommends omitting NFS server functionality
    from appliances that do not specifically require an NFS server;
    for appliances that do require an NFS server, the nfs-utils:runtime
    and nfs-utils:lib components may be added to the appliance.
