Can anyone help to build an ipk of the latest version?

Currently, I use official package which version is 2.2.4. i followed the guild in http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/timemachine . it works. but the write spped seems limited at 3MB/s. if i use FTP protocol, the speed could be 8MB/s and even faster. Maybe the problem is version of netatalk is too old. i need to install a latest one.

Here's official site of netatalk.
http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/

if anyone can help me to build the ipk, that's really appreciate. I post it in general discussion but seems no one can help me.

I don't know if it is a version problem. Upgrade to newer versions (but not necessarily version 3) of netatalk seems to be required overcome compatibility issues with TM backups. At least version 3 is much easier to configure, with only one config file http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/3.0/htm … ation.html, (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/3.0/htm … onf.5.html).

I successfully compiled and run netatalk3 (3.0.1) provided by Tobias Waldvogel (https://github.com/tobiaswaldvogel/open … /netatalk3) on WNDR3700 and WNDR4300, but I did not do any benchmarks regarding to speed.

You could check cpu-load of your router/server during transfers to check if that is the bottle neck.

Furthermore, if you want to use it for TM backups, I formatted my disk to use ext4 in stead of hfs+, as the linux driver does not support journalling an interrupted backups can easily get corrupted.

Thank you very much! Can you provide the ipk for chaos calmer? I don't know how to build it...

Much more fun if you do it yourself. And there is a number of dependencies (dependant packages) that you will have to build too, otherwise it won't install or won't work.

Everything is perfectly documented here:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/about/toolchain
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build

Good luck!

Did you ever manage? I just built netatalk 3.1.10, using this: https://github.com/tobiaswaldvogel/open … netatalk3.

Replace PKG_VERSION:=3.0.1 with 3.1.0 and PKG_MD5SUM: with correct checksum (335a23f0df707400caa9b68b08be5e56). See https://sourceforge.net/projects/netata … lk/3.1.10/

To prevent errors with building kerberos-dependencies, I added --without-kerberos below --without-shadow.

Also you have to add a + before libevent2, otherwise the package netatalk3 does not appear in make menuconfig.
