Package: p3nfs
Severity: wishlist

I suggest you mention plptools for EPOC devices, if possible in the
package description. From what I can see, plptools is still a better
choice for those devices, as it provides equivalent functionality to
p3nfs without needing to install a client on the EPOC device, plus
various other functionality including backup which closes all
applications on the remote machine, and (admittedly rather out of
date, but still working AFAIK) KDE integration, as well as (not yet in
Debian) the ability to set the remote machine's clock.

Also, you might like to encourage users of non-Psion EPOC devices by
saying "Psion/EPOC" or something (I know you can't just say EPOC, as a
lot of people won't know what that means). That would help users of
the 5mx Pro and Geofox 1!

I'm the upstream plptools maintainer, but I'm only doing that job
because I still use a Psion device; I have no personal pride invested
in the code! In fact, its NFS code was based on p3nfs, and if there
were a way to integrate its functionality back into p3nfs, I'd quite
happily stop using it (I don't use the KDE stuff).
