if it means we can leverage your work on the DDP stack for the small price of building some glue code and maintaining a protobuf, then it sounds like a fine tradeoff to me I only glanced through the code so maybe this is obvious, but I assume the tailtalk-broker would interface with atalkd...

I'm pleased to share my own mirror of the AFP Reference: https://afp.fyi/docs/reference/ My personal impetus for finally getting this cleaned up and published, rather than relying on the Wayback Machine copy, was that I kept finding blatant mistakes in the spec that needed correction. They are...

@Bolacore no butting in whatsoever, on the contrary I would say that it's beneficial to be running multiple PoCs in parallel to see what works best!

the commit is unambiguous with the intention: "Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol graveyard, I mean, repository."

@Bolacore just the fact that you have demonstrated a fully working DDP transport layer in userland is worth a lot, I think

you can ask @NJRoadfan if his A2SERVER fork is in good enough shape to test any RPi should run netatalk 4.5.0 well, you just have to compile it yourself unless you want to learn how to work with Docker containers, I wouldn't necessarily recommend that you go down that path – it is a good...

how did you start the AFP server -- via the netatalk controller daemon, or the afpd daemon directly? the former is the preferred way, because it will bring up the cnid_metad daemon for you (among other things) which is the daemon that orchestrates DBD database access through cnid_dbd daemon...

minor correction: "path" is indeed a legal option for the [Homes] section and will lead to this subdir being shared instead of the root of each user's home dir -- I leverage this option frequently since it's arguably preferable to sharing your entire home dir Ref...

@demik what driver are you using for your IISC? (i.e. in the Mac OS Chooser)

Impressive work, this will definitely come in handy when developing SCSI printer support in PiSCSI / BlueSCSI etc.

thanks for testing! indeed, the RandNum UAM has a special ritual that you have to do; do you know about the "afppasswd.key" trick for adding a layer of DES encryption on your local afppasswd file? it's well worth it to avoid keeping passwords in clear text on your file system (albeit in...

Nitpick: AppleShare was never the name of the protocol itself, but rather of the client and server applications that implemented the protocol known as AFP (originally AppleTalk Filing Protocol, later shortened to Apple Filing Protocol). Apple's SMB is based on the Sun implementation, reportedly...

amazing, thank you so much for this initiative!

this is truly helpful, having a properly searchable version of this documentation will be handy when working with AppleTalk code – I will certainly make use of it in the future we have a similar but different challenge with the Apple Filing Protocol Reference document, which is the...

netatalk 4.5.0 beta is now available for adventurous users we have introduced advanced ARC cache and a wide range of deep optimizations that speed up file operations, especially noticeably when you enumerate a large number of files, i.e. when browsing a remote volume see the new manual chapter...

ah pardon, I assumed you were the original author of the proxy! one thing you could do it to fork the project on GitHub, then publish your binary Windows builds there... just a tip

GitHub allows you create Releases where you can attach binary builds for Windows and other platforms; this is generally preferred and appreciated by the community since this makes it easier to trace source code to the binary, and a level of confidence that you're not installing malware from a...

what is the difference between the code in the zip file on archive.org and your GitHub repo?

The SQLite backend is flagged as stable as of v4.4.0! It is truly the future-proof option. Debian for instance has flagged Berkeley DB for removal in Debian Duke in... 2029 ^^; Edit: I wrote a migration guide a while ago during the beta test phase.

Thank you for the sentiment, I will certainly let you know if/when the project opens up for donations. :) As NJRoadfan points out, the original roadmap proposal has been largely achieved (not least thanks to his contributions). What remains of the original roadmap is to rewrite the indexed...
