I'm honestly not sure what just went on, because I have a feeling that I
missed a few postings, due to upgrading my sendmail yesterday.
I would like to state, for the record, that netatalk was not, and will
not be, a Linux-centric application. I happen to package netatalk for
Linux, as it is the platform that I have the most access to at work and
at home. I believe I speak for the entire project when I say that any
compiled versions are very welcome, and all efforts will be made to make
sure that netatalk builds and runs on as many *BSD/*NIX platforms as
possible.
If there has been a lack of attention towards a certain problem that has
been posted up on sourceforge, please bring it to either Matthew's
attention or mine. You can email either of us without blasting the
project to a mailing list, no matter how frustrating everything has
been. I spent a good three weeks trying to iron out the DHX
authentication problem, during which I managed to keep my anger off of
the list. But just barely. :)
I understand both sides of this argument (from what little I've read),
and would ask the following:
*) If you have a problem with something not being supported, either
submit a patch for it, or email the development list about it. Someone
should respond to you. If in a week or two no one has responded, mail
either Matt or I.
*) If there are platform issues, please make them known. I would like to
see netatalk supporting all major *BSD/*NIX platforms by the 1.5 final
release.
I'd also like to take the time to explain that the pre-releases are
released whenever I seem to think that development has produced
something stable. I have been known to be very wrong about this, but I'm
simply trying to provide something for the community to use and test in
the time leading up to 1.5, which will hopefully be rock-solid.
If anyone has any comments on this, feel free to email me.
Thanks,
jeff
