I've fixed this one, thanks for catching.

Ok, here we go! ;)

I've merge branch-iniconfig to branch-allea and deleted it afterwards.
The new inifconfig stuff is basically fully functional at this point,
but some loose ends remain. I've listed them at the end of the
Netatalk 3.0 Googledoc [1] under the TODO section. Feel free to pick
any of the open issues and start working on it, if you do, please drop
me a note so we don't work on the same on, I'll do the same. You might
also commit on branch-allea from this point onwards because afaict I'm
really done with all the heavy changes.

The new ini conifg stuff has proven to be a HUGE code cleanup.

[Netatalk 3] Volume defaults in afp.conf

Hi,

I'm trying to find an intuitive configuration syntax for the volume
defaults stuff in afp.conf (like what we had with :DEFAULT: in
AppleVolumes.default).
I came up with this and would like to get some feedback on it. Thanks!

---8<--- afp.conf
...

[mydefaults1]
defaultset = yes ; this is a defaultset, not a volume
options = ro
cnidsheme = tdb

[mydefaults2]
defaultset = yes ; this is a defaultset, not a volume
options = rw
cnidsheme = dbd

[CD ROM]
path = /mnt/cdrom
defaults = mydefaults1 ; use defaultset once

[AFP Vol 1]
path  = /my/vol1
changedefaults = mydefaults2 ; change defaults for this and subsequent volumes

[AFP Vol 2]
; uses defaultset "mydefaults2" too

Re: [Netatalk 3] Volume defaults in afp.conf

Hi, 

It is possible to have some generic terms to match what an Apple AFPServer does.
For instance if I add a new volume on a Mac it is automounted at /Volumes/volname, and auto-shared over afp as volname.

The current method allows for $v,$u,$h,etc. which I use in AppleVolumes.default to share volumes that the
user is not authorised to until the volume is mounted. 

It would be nice if something like the following were possible

[AFP Volumes]
path = /my/$v
sharename = $h.$v

I guess there is no desire to mount the host's root directory, which is available from a Mac server but not
from an AirPort Extreme.

Regards
Alan

Perhaps if each was called a 'preset', instead of a 'default' it would 
make more sense to more people when there is the possibility of more 
than one.

Possibly, so what about:

---8<--- afp.conf
...

[mypreset1]
preset = yes ; this is a volume preset, not a volume
options = ro
cnidsheme = tdb

[mypreset2]
preset = yes ; this is a volume preset, not a volume
options = rw
adouble = v2
cnidsheme = dbd

[mypreset3]
preset = yes ; this is a preset, not a volume
options = rw noacls noupriv
adouble = ea

The variable substitution semantics should be fully preserved.

Re: [Netatalk 3] Volume defaults in afp.conf

Hi,

Why not use a prefix in the name of a preset to indicate that it is?

Example:

[PRESET:mypreset1]
options = ro
cnidsheme = tdb

[PRESET:mypreset2]
options = rw
adouble = v2
cnidsheme = dbd
