Thanks Andrew.  I did search for this but missed it.

Comment 3 Andrew Bauer 2025-04-25 12:09:34 UTC

Understood. It's easy to miss, as the package update process auto-closes the effected bugs even though the package is not yet pushed to stable repos.

I'm building yet another netatalk package soon as well. Upstream broke our ability to build the html doc subpackage. I expect that to be fixed in the next release after this one.
