Package: tasksel Version: 2.85 Severity: normal Hi,
I notice netatalk being dropped from file-server task in 2.85. Maybe this is carefully thought out, I don't know. I don't know since there is no reference to a bugreport or anywhere else this have been discussed. I am the current package maintainer of netatalk, and find it somewhat odd that you judge it as irrelevant due to being "old". Well, smb is old too, so I suspect the real qualifier is if it is commonly in active use. Even if the historical underlying network protocol, Appletalk, have been abandoned by Apple for quite some time, netatalk also works on top of tcp, and is is in active use among Macintosh users, I believe: It is an essential part of the backup routine "time machine". So please consider reenabling netatalk in the file-server task. And please consider involving the package maintainer of packages you consider dropping in the future :-) Kind regards, - Jonas -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=da_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=da_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tasksel depends on: ii aptitude 0.6.3-3.2 terminal-based package manager (te ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36 Debian configuration management sy ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-6 Using libc functions for internati ii tasksel-data 2.85 Official tasks used for installati tasksel recommends no packages. tasksel suggests no packages. -- debconf information: tasksel/title: tasksel/desktop: gnome tasksel/first: tasksel/tasks: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
