Package: netatalk
Version: 2.0.3-4
Severity: normal
NetATalk should be built with the --with-bdb-txn argument to configure.
Omitting this means that it's running without transaction-protected
access to .AppleDB . If NetATalk crashes, the machine loses power, etc,
the cnid database may be corrupted. Berkeley DB cannot detect and
recover from this state, it requires manual correction with
db4.2_recover on each .AppleDB .
This issue is easily addressed by appending --with-cnid-dbd-txn to
DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS in debian/rules . I'm not aware of any
problems that would prohibit the use of transaction support, and I know
it resolves a lot of problems.
Even if you decide not to make this change, please consider documenting
the process:
apt-get source netatalk
apt-get build-dep netatalk
cd netatalk-2*
vim debian/rules (append --with-cnid-dbd-txn to
DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS)
fakeroot debian/rules binary
... so that people realise it's easy to enable for the debian package,
and they don't need to go and build their own copy of NetATalk.
