[Netatalk-admins] Roadmap for netatalk 2.3

[Daniel M. <da...@mi...>]

Here is a roadmap proposal for a netatalk 2.2->2.3 minor release version bump:

The overall vision is: refactoring, security, and deprecation of broken or unsafe features.

Current scope of deprecation that I have in mind:

- CNID backends: cdb, tdb
- afprun.c|h
- dropbox kludge
- force volume uid/gid
- Ancient OS support: SunOS, IRIX, AIX, Ultrix, HPUX, Tru64, ibm032

The brunt of the refactoring and code cleanup is here:
https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/pull/521

I plan to try to improve code quality and plug a few Sonar reported security vulnerabilities in a subsequent PR.

My vintage Macs are currently in a warehouse so I aim to tag and release in ~2 months or so when I have access to them again.

Thoughts, suggestions of additional scope?

Thanks!

Daniel
