Interesting use case for Coda and trying to build for Ubuntu lpia

[Mark Komarinski]

Hi all,

With the rise of netbooks, low on-board storage, and the ubiquity of 
wifi and 3G, I've been thinking that having a filesystem like coda makes 
a lot of sense.  Here's my use case that I didn't get time to try, but 
will at some point:

I've got a Dell Mini with Ubuntu loaded on it.  When on vacation, I'm 
sure to fill the memory on my camera and want to store it elsewhere to 
make space.  The Mini has a small SSD, so I'd really rather have my 
server at home mounted and store the files there.  But when you're on 
the beach, Internet access can be kinda spotty.  So why not have a 
filesystem that you can load data on to, and then have it sync with the 
server as a network connection is available?

This led me here to Coda.  I have a test server and client (both i386) 
up and running without issue, but I wanted to compile the debian package 
for my Ubuntu 8.10 laptop which uses the lpia port.  I ran into some 
issues getting it to build and I hope one of you knowledgeable folk can 
assist.  I've attached the relevant part of the build, but can include 
the entire output if you need.
