>Description:
the net/netatalk package hardcodes the atalk ETCDIR to ${prefix}/etc,
which is many environments is a shared directory.
if one wants to have a different configuration for atalk between different
machines, one loses as there is only one configuration directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
attempt to setup netatalk via pkgsrc on two machines with a shared
/usr/pkg but have different requirements for each machine. lose.
>Fix:
allow the netatalk package to specify the etcdir. i personally use
/etc/atalk but that is me...
