In an earlier post, someone asked about security updates for Netatalk 2.2. I think we can commit to fixing security bugs in Netatalk 2.2 for a while. Also, if anyone has changes they want to submit for 2.2, that's fine by me. A lot of the current development work comes from frank, HAT, and someone doing Kerberos work (sorry I forgot your name!). I expect they will be devoting their efforts to Netatalk 3, but that doesn't preclude other people from making improvements to Netatalk 2. Andy |
