I'll agree with this one. Documentation for netatalk is nearly impossible
to come by, and usually does not concern the latest version.

I've been trying to keep tabs on the patches to
netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.4pre{37,39}, since I've been trying to keep my RPM
packaging for netatalk up to date with these patches. Going back to your
earlier statement, this would probably be a lot easier if a resource
existed that was somewhat more up to date than the Netatalk Faq-o-Matic.
Adrian seemed to not really be sure of when he was going to release
1.4b2+asun2.1.4, but I had the idea that he wanted to rework some of the
things that we have all been complaining about. (Perhaps the current
maintainers of netatalk-1.4b2 will turn over control to him, since they
haven't modified the code in over two years, I believe)
