Summary and Description are old-fashioned. AppleTalk is already disabled by default. BTW, Netatalk team consult Fedora packagers. We will change initscript's name from "atalk" to "netatalk". A keyword "atalk" is an abbreviation for "AppleTalk". from: /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk to: /etc/rc.d/init.d/netatalk Do you have the objection in this?
This shouldn't be a problem. Do you plan to release new tarball with renamed initscript?
Our policy follows the opinion of the packagers. We never change the name for Fedora/RedHat. It has already changed to "netatalk" for Solaris and Debian. These have followed the opinion of specialist.
Created attachment 416721 [details] Renaming initscript, POSIX compliance I've made attached patch that renames atalk -> netatalk and there are additional changes due to POSIX compliance - two kind of changes: - correct exit codes when something is wrong (e.g. no conf file, ...) - tests moved to starting fce Summary proposal: Daemon providing Apple Protocol Suite for BSD-derived systems Description proposal (used from sourceforge.net): Netatalk is a daemon which provides POSIX-compliant *NIX/*BSD systems with the ability to share files and printers with Apple Macintosh computers. Any objection? Jiri
Hi, -------------------------------------------------- >-sysvdir = $(DESTDIR)/etc/rc.d/init.d >+sysvdir = /etc/rc.d/init.d This is already fixed in netatalk 2.1.1. See NEWS file in netatalk 2.1.1 taball. >Changes in 2.1.1 >* FIX: DESTDIR support: DESTDIR was expanded twice -------------------------------------------------- >-ATALK_BIN=:BINDIR: >-ATALK_CONF_DIR=:ETCDIR: >-ATALK_SBIN=:SBINDIR: >+ATALK_BIN=/usr/bin >+ATALK_CONF_DIR=/etc/atalk/ >+ATALK_SBIN=/usr/sbin These are not needed because all of these can be specified at configure time. I think /etc/netatalk is better than /etc/atalk. What do you think? -------------------------------------------------- >Summary proposal: >Daemon providing Apple Protocol Suite for BSD-derived systems > >Description proposal (used from sourceforge.net): >Netatalk is a daemon which provides POSIX-compliant *NIX/*BSD systems >with the ability to share files and printers with Apple Macintosh >computers. I think it is enough. Please refer to the following sentences. http://sourceforge.net/projects/netatalk/ netatalk is a daemon which provides POSIX-compliant *NIX/*BSD systems with the ability to share files and printers with Apple Macintosh computers. http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/ Netatalk is a freely-available Open Source AFP fileserver. It also provides a kernel level implementation of the AppleTalk Protocol Suite. A *NIX/*BSD system running Netatalk is capable of serving many Macintosh clients simultaneously as an AppleShare file server (AFP), AppleTalk router, *NIX/*BSD print server, and for accessing AppleTalk printers via Printer Access Protocol (PAP). Included are a number of minor printing and debugging utilities. distrib/initscripts/rc.atalk.redhat.tmpl # description: This package is an implementation of "AFP over TCP" # and provides printer, file sharing, and routing # services via legacy AppleTalk networking protocol. distrib/initscripts/rc.atalk.suse.tmpl # Description: AFP over TCP and legacy Appletalk daemons
