Netatalk 2.2.9 Released

I wanted to leave this note that I'm not planning to announce dot releases of Netatalk in these forums anymore, unless there's a new killer feature that got added, or something. :)

There is a new 2.2.10 release available over at GitHub, which I tagged a few days ago. It consists of a handful of incremental improvements and upgrading is recommended if you're running an earlier 2.2.x version.

However, this release is a stepping stone for one thing that I've been working on recently: Debian deb packaging for netatalk2. I spent the last week getting a Debian dev environment set up and familiarizing myself with debuild and dpkg. If someone would like to test a package shoot me a message -- I have my own home made debs for Bullseye and Bookworm locally that *should* work everywhere.

In the long run my goal, as I think I've mentioned elsewhere, is to get netatalk2 reintroduced at least into Debian unstable (Sid) repos.
I'd love to test that .deb file if you have it! My main server is forever on debian testing. I wish the netatalk 3.x series never existed and/or the debian packages just remained on the 2.x branch.

Thanks! I hope to test the netatalk2.deb inside a vm as my only amd64 linux is already running netatalk 3 right now. All my other test linux are arm, arm64, or mips.

Got it. Once I get back my machine with the Debian dev environment I'll try to get cross-compilation set up. (It's in an ocean shipment with all of my other junk, a few weeks out from delivery at the time of writing...)
