Hi,
Netatalk team is preparing netatalk 2.1beta now.
We consult Fedora packagers.

We will change initscript's name from "atalk" to "netatalk".

from:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk
to:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/netatalk

Do you have the objection in this?

A keyword "atalk" is an abbreviation for "AppleTalk".
AppleTalk will be disable by default in netatalk 2.1beta.

A description has already been updated.

Old:
# description: This package enables Linux to talk to Macintosh
#              computers via the AppleTalk networking protocol and 
#              provides printer, file sharing, and AppleTalk routing 
#              services.   

New:
# description: This package is an implementation of "AFP over TCP"
#              and provides printer, file sharing, and routing 
#              services via legacy AppleTalk networking protocol.
