I have been refining an update to the netatalk package for some time now and have received feedback indicating that the old 2.x versions of netatalk should be preserved for compatibility with macOS 10.10 and older versions.
Netatalk is a package primarily used to add Apple File Protocol services on *nix systems. The macOS targets in question already have native AFP file sharing, and there is little value for this package on them. On modern systems, Netatalk 4.x brings back AFP file sharing for compatibility with classic Mac OS systems. The current version of the PR updates the netatalk port to version 4.3.2 and adds a stub port, ensuring that any users who have installed netatalk4 will also receive this upgrade. I set the platforms to Darwin >= 15, which matches the versions of macOS that Netatalk 4.x builds on. Is there a committer willing to work with me on ensuring the correctness of the portfile? It also seems we need some agreement that it's acceptable to retire Netatalk 2.x as has been done across most platforms.
