Package: avfs Version: 1.0.1-2 Severity: normal Usertags: debian-packaging Hi there!
I discovered avfs while looking for a way to mount WebDAV resources, thanks to `apt-cache search webdav` and: ===== $ apt-cache show avfs Package: avfs Version: 1.0.1-2 [...] Description-en: virtual filesystem to access archives, disk images, remote locations This FUSE-base VFS (Virtual FileSystem) enables all programs to look inside archived or compressed files, or access remote files without recompiling the programs or changing the kernel. . At the moment it supports floppies, tar and gzip files, zip, bzip2, ar and rar files, ftp sessions, http, webdav, rsh/rcp, ssh/scp. Quite a few other handlers are implemented with the Midnight Commander's external FS. ===== However, after having installed it and found that no manpages are shipped (see #598599), I discovered the following in README.Debian: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- avfs for Debian --------------- [...] Webdav support is disabled for the time being because it needs some more work. [...] -- Michael Meskes <[email protected]> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:48:39 +0100 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Please add a more prominent note about the disabled WebDAV support in the long description, it would have saved me some time.
