Installs netatalk with SSL support, for compatibility with newer versions of Mac OS X.

Tested on the following platforms using test-kitchen (converges clean, OS X 10.8 client can connect).

• Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04
• Debian 6.0

Previously working, but untested:

• ArchLinux

Attributes are documented in the cookbook's metadata.

The default netatalk package on Debian/Ubuntu does not have SSL support, so newer Mac OS X clients will be unable to authenticate. Netatalk 2.2 is required, or the package needs to be built from source with SSL.

Generally, include the default recipe on the node's run list. On older versions of Ubuntu/Debian, the backport PPA with Netatalk 2.2 will be enabled. If this is not working in your Ubuntu/Debian nodes, set the node['netatalk']['package_recipe'] attribute to build_deb and the package will be built from the deb-src. The build_deb recipe will install the build dependencies to use debuild to build the netatalk package. This does take quite some time to build.

The shares do need to be configured, and you can set up the attributes in a role, e.g. "netatalk_server" with default or override attributes:

"netatalk" => {
  "share_base" => "/srv/export",
  "share_base_owner" => "jtimberman",
  "share_base_group" => "jtimberman",
  "shares" => [
    '~/ "Home Directory"',
    '/srv/export/timemachine "TimeMachine" allow:jtimberman cnidscheme:cdb'
  ]
}

To modify the options used in /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf, set the node['netatalk']['afpd_options'] with the entire string as the options line that should appear in the configuration file.
