>Description:
upcoming netatalk-2.0 brings a whole bunch of fixes for MacOS X clients as well as many overall enhancements. it supports AFPv3 calls now.
netatalk-2.0a1 and a2 releases do not compile without some nasty patches.


>How-To-Repeat:
try to use a (more or less bug-free) implementation of CNID in netatalk-1.6.4. don't try, there is none. same for AFPv3. try to use files larger than 2mb on your new firewire storage and fail.
>Fix:
use recent netatalk2-devel port provided here for testing:

please comment and review, i'd be glad to see this in base
