I can see most people turn to Adrians version of Netatalk now. Adrian
does a damn good work on Netatalk and it is going to be a killer-app
for Linux!
Nevertheless - as far as I understand it - there is an "a sun"-Version
and an "official" release - currently in 1.4b2 state.
Isn't it possible to join forces in developing _one_ Netatalk instead
of two? As far as I can tell, Adrians release has already included
lots of improvements over the official 1.4b2 version. So why not
come up with a 1.5b1?
I remember to have read something about "licence conditions" of the
official version, which Adrian did not want to apply to - isn't there
a way to get rid of this contrains?
What should be the "advantage" of this? -- Well, I think more
developers may consider helping to develop Netatalk, if there would
be an unified project. But maybe there's no one around with the
necessary in-depth knowledge of AppleTalk AND Unix (maybe even not
at Apple itself?)
