hi, i'm looking for a project space (CVS, SVN or GIT) for my libfusi project. do you think it fits here - or should i rather register at sourceforge? regards norbert
have you talked to the gvfs/kio guys about this? new shared infrastructure is good, but new independent infrastructure that people don't use is less good.
(In reply to comment #1) > have you talked to the gvfs/kio guys about this? new shared infrastructure is > good, but new independent infrastructure that people don't use is less good. > i think they know about it, but i'm not sure about their opinion. i remember that KDE developers showed some interest, but said they would rather standardize the libfusi spec/config files and rewrite libfusi in Qt/C++ (which will be quite complicated and less flexible i think). also, they seem to be very busy with KDE4... alexander larsson has pointed out some disadvantages of a FUSE approach (mainly issues with POSIX and atomic saves), but IMHO gvfs is also problematic, because it only works consistently when everyone - KDE also - uses it (which might take half a decade). so - although i like the design of gvfs - i'm afraid that bypassing *the* file-system in a higher layer might always be a quirks... KIO and Gnome-VFS never convinced me... it seems the whole file-management/VFS issue is still a big mess. nobody has a really satisfying solution, and KDE/GNOME still brew their own beer... for instance gvfs never intended to target KDE (and KDE developers don't care about it, because they love their KIO). libfusi is thought to be a "keep it simple" and "less is more" cross desktop approach - perhaps FUSE doesn't work well for things like webdav - but at least for sftp/ftp/smb it provides a working solution. also, i think it is compatible with high level filesystem abstraction layers like Gnome-VFS, gvfs and KIO. you just have to add some GUI features to nautilus and konqueror for the mount-point management. do you think we should invite KDE and GNOME developers to discuss whether libfusi should be hosted on fd.o? not sure if they really care. cheers, norbert
i have registered a sourceforge account: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libfusi/ norbert
Hi Norbert I noticed you've now registered a sourceforge account, I am right to assume you no longer need project space on freedesktop.org?
