AFP support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
Is there a plan to add AFP support ?
This will be great for all Mac users and will enable us to use Time Machine on 
the NAS.

Thanks,
Ori

We are planning on it, as soon as we port the system to the newer kernel.

Any update when this may take place? This would definitely help with Time 
Machine Backups.

I know that there was a comment under Debian_chroot that afp support could be 
added. Does anyone have a step by step tutorial that could help until there is 
official support? 10.6.8 has become a nightmare and from my understanding Lion 
will be able to fix some of the issues, but I would not like to rely on FTP 
support alone. 

Thanks in advance.

i would love a step-by-step tutorial on how to get afp working as well. i've 
managed to chroot into lenny but when i apt-get install netatalk i get errors 
such as:

I am wondering since there is not a package if there is a tutorial that could 
explain how to make this work.

Any progress on this one yet ? I know quite a lot of people are after netatalk 
on snakeos so that it can be used more easily with mac time machine - Although 
an SMB share can be used with a bit of (easy) fiddling.
