Guess I need to choose a more progressive OS the main-repos only can contain one version because how should someone handle the "i want to stay at 2.2 because i do not have time to rewrite my config" if any update likes to install him the 3.0.x version? there are surely backport repos for debian but since a avoid DEB-distributions at all and using Fedora since years or if it has to be LTS CentOS/RHEL i can not say much for debian-like distributions but hey, until now Netatalk 3.0.x has even not reached Fedora http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=449 ____________________ that's my self-built package you find in no repo :-) [root@fileserver:~]$ rpm -q netatalk netatalk-3.0.3-8.fc17.20130326.rh.x86_64 |
