Heads-up that netatalk 4.0.0 is available now as a Debian Sid package. If you add the unstable repo to your package manager you can install it. Although I haven’t tested if all dependencies can be resolved on stable Bookworm or not. At the very least it works great on the latest Testing snapshot (the future Debian Trixie).
Since the netatalk suite is massively sprawling, I created this atomic package structure:
- netatalk — the AFP file server
- netatalk-tools — the various sysadmin tools and scripts
- netatalk-doc — the html manual
- libatalk — the shared library (used by all binaries)
- libatalk-dev — development headers
- atalkd — the AppleTalk controller daemon + sundry AppleTalk network tools
- papd — printer daemon and LocalTalk printing tools
- timelord — time server daemon
- a2boot — Apple II netboot daemon
- macipgw —MacIP gateway daemon
The dependency and recommends should be set up properly so that apt will pull the packages that you need and want.
One neat thing about this structure is that you can install only the AFP server or only the AppleTalk networking suite if you only want, say, the papd print server and nothing else. They all depend on the libatalk shared library but that’s it.
If you run into a dependency bug please let me know!
