Bug#690227: Netatalk 3.0.6 packages for Debian

2014-01-11 Thread Tony Hoyle

Hi,

In common with the previous poster to this bug, I needed a newer version 
(3.0.3 was causing errors for me with mountain lion).  I've built 3.0.6 
using the same debian directory as 3.0.3 with minimal changes.  It works 
for me, but no warranty etc.

Thanks for sharing.

Can you elaborate on the kinds of issues you experienced with 3.0.3?

Netatalk 2.2.2 works fine for my needs, so I am interested if that's 
simply because you use some features I don't.

I had to update to 3.0.3 originally because of frequent corruption 
issues with time machine.  This was fixed somewhere in the 3.x series 
(or rather the google reports of corruption seem to die off somewhere 
after the release of 3.x).  3.0.3 has been fairly stable since install 
(April/May ish).


When I updated OSX recently I was finding the share was randomly coming 
up as not found, which was again breaking time machine (it silently 
failed to backup for over a week before I noticed).  So far 3.0.6 hasn't 
suffered the issue, although it's difficult to judge yet - OTOH being on 
a relatively recent release means I can make meaningful bug reports 
should I need to.


Why 2.2.2?  why not, for example, 2.2.5, if you're sticking with the old 
stable branch?

Ah, right.  I don't use Time machine.

Thanks for the details!

Oh.  I simply hadn't noticed those interleaved updates.  Thanks!

For the record: I do intend for the Debian package to move to 3.x, just 
haven't found time for it yet - also affected by it apparently running 
quite stable: I have received no complaints where I have it deployed (a 
business school where users love to upgrade their Macs aggressively).
