Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: alpha AFP/TCP support in netatalk
From: a sun (asun@zoology.washington.edu)

i've placed my latest afp/tcp patches for netatalk-1.4b2 in
<ftp://ftp.u.washington.edu/public/asun>. you can either get
netatalk-2.0a7.tar.gz, or the patches up to it. i've compiled it on
linux/intel w/ glibc-2 and on linux/axp as well. i've also compiled a
previous snapshot under sunos 4.1.4. let me know if it works for you.
NB: the 2.0a7 designation is my own and not the official
maintainers. if and when my changes get incorporated into the official
netatalk, numbers are bound to change.
for those that already have the a6 patches, here's a brief list of
changes:
fixed asp_attentions and server messages
afpd can run as a ddp-only or tcp-only server if desired.
limits volume changed attentions to at most 1/second.
for those that aren't familiar w/ my netatalk patches, here's a
synopsis of what they do:
afp 2.2 support includes
afp/tcp w/ streaming reads/writes
server messages and notifications
server signatures
large volume support (currently not used by the
macintosh filesystem)
64-bit clean
random fixes (socket setup, network-byte order blips, and
other things i can't recall)
my main test machine is somewhat flaky right now due to my running the
latest, greatest linux development kernel. as a consequence, i haven't
been able to do a good benchmark yet. w/ not-so-flaky kernels, i got
between a 1.5-2x speedup.
