- hi,
-
- sorry about the commentary in the name :) (it's preliminary)
-
- I wrote a little perl script which converts one-way to netatalk format. It
- does make softlinks in the form %name->.AppleDouble/name so it will take a
- netatalk hierarchy and at least make it usable with executor.
-
- Can you executor guys give me an idea of how well the softlinks will work in
- practice? (ie executor won't get upset in any strange cases because it's a
- softlink, not a real file?) Should I use a hard link instead maybe?
-
- I still have more error checking to implement before I release the script,
- but just to let you know it's there and works.
-
- one thing I'm still thinking about though... what do I do if there are
- differing %name and .AppleDouble/%name? go with the newer one and back up
- the old one somewhere??
-
- are you sure you guys don't want to offer a command-line switch to
- tell executor to use the netatalk format? :)
