First off, *PLEASE* *PLEASE* *PLEASE* use the configure switch to
change flags such as this. ./configure --with-shadow --with-pam
--with-flock-locks etc. Do a ./configure --help to see all of the
options. It makes configuring much easier, and also allows the
developers to change the way things are configured underneath, while
keeping the higher-level configuration the same. This is only an
option with the pre1.5 tree- Anyone using 1.4B2(+asun) doesn't have
this luxury.
Next, all of my testing is done on OS 9.1 and 8.5 as I don't have
OS10 running yet (maybe next week).
Nearly last, this is the wrong forum for pre1.5 issues. This list is
for support for the Umich 1.4B2 version (deprecated) and the
associated +asun2.1.3 and +asun2.1.4- And will be used more actively
once 1.5 is release-grade, and the "netatalk-admins" in general
start moving to 1.5 (and yes, it really does kick serious butt, once
the bugs get squished). Although some of us are on this list too,
most everyone who's really working with pre1.5 is on
netatalk-devel@sourceforge.net (
http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/mailing_lists.php ) - Although it's
targetted towards developers, any user-reports for the pre1.5
releases should go here as well to make sure "the masses" see them.
I've already been slapped for cross-posting, otherwise I'd just pipe
the pre1.5 messages from here over to there.
Finally, BIG THANKS to everyone who's downloading the pre1.5
releases and reporting back. The more people out there finding
problems and giving intelligent reports about the problems they are
having, the faster the bugs will be found and nailed. pre6 is really
good on the systems I've tested- The most stable in the 1.5 tree.
