I don't know since there is no reference to a bugreport or anywhere else this have been discussed.Here is the start of the discussion: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/10/msg00313.htmlNote that the "perl needed for netatalk" can be moderated by the fact that the standard task will install perl anyway.
Thanks for the reference.Still seems weird to me to drop netatalk: What is the purpose of file-server task if not serving files in a heterogenous network?
I mean - _specific_ file serving tasks are done by selecting a specific fileserver, no?
Seems that those in favor of ditching it have no interest in heterogenous file-sharing at all, judging from those posting to the subthread.
Is this late change targeted squeeze?For Squeeze+1 - if anyone cares - I intend to split file-sharing from printing routines (which are the ones depending on Perl) and switching to backgrounding the daemon startup by default as is done in Samba.
Those seem to be the only real complaints against netatalk - the one about netatalk being obsolete is bogus IMHO!
I strongly recommend you guys to reconsider! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
