[Pkg-netatalk-devel] I'm interested in a Netatalk Backport to Debian 12 bookworm.

[Gerald Przybylski]

A friend, and previous Linux maintainer, suggested that you might be 
interested in any feedback I could provide on my troubles getting it going.
(I miss netatalk in the bookworm upgrade, and would rather not backtrack 
to Debian-11 to get it.)

My background is as science technical support for physicists in a 
national laboratory - retired after 30 years in 2011.
I built some hardware, maintained some computer systems, wrote some code 
for PDP-11 and VAX computers for science projects.
I wrote some assembler for a DSP, and driver enhancements for data 
acquisition on a micro-VAX in simpler times.

Our AFP usage is strictly local behind a NAT, so protected from the 
internet.  (the router is a Cisco 2921)
We mostly use Apple computers within our LAN, but have several (older 
apple) computers with Linux installed on them.
(a mini, a laptop, and an older raspberry-pi  booting from an sdd for 
Pi-Hole)

I've installed from tar-balls when they weren't too daunting.

I'm a total newbie to Debian Backports.
If there is a Trixie Netatalk backport to bookworm,  can you please 
point me to instructions?
What would you like feedback on?
