I did look at the diff file and could see that the ProDOS date issue doesn't seem fixed in the newer source.I'll check that. I can also check the rest of the diff, but do you remember if you fixed any other bugs besides the date thing? Also, by commenting the line for the date fix, does it break any other netatalk functionality (when used with Mac OS X clients or whatever) to your knowledge?
I am honestly not sure. I'd have to go back and look at it and do some experimentation. So, in the meantime: Caveat Emptor!
If you are able to setup for cross-compile (is that NAS MIPS-based like so many of the routers?) then building in atalk protocol is just a matter of turning on the kernel configuration option. Don't forget that the ddp protocol entry needs to be in /etc/protocols.Sure, it's "just a matter of" to *you*, but I'll give it a whirl. It's an ARM-based device but people have definitely cross-compiled new kernels for it.
My "just a matter of" would probably be most of a Saturday banging my head against the wall and uttering shameful language. Don't for a minute mistake me for someone who would know how to do this off the top of my head :-).
It's very unlikely that I'll have the cycles to do that. Would appreciate your being able to put a deb together.I'll try. It'll be my first deb. I'm not really a Linux guy, as you've probably figured out by now.
There is a wealth of information out there on building debian packages. Unfortunately it's scattered, inconsisent and much of it is out-of-date (read: you are just supposed to _know_ that it's not done with tool xyz anymore - which has been replaced with abc and def..).
One of the only coherent books I've ever been able to find is "The Debian System" by Martin Krafft (Open Source Press). It's a bit dated, but the tools he uses do still exist and at least it provides complete explanations.
