I'm assuming you're talking about nautilus 2.22 here. One reason for the delay is that the upstream nautilus developers decided to take over most of gnome-volume-manager's functionality, without actually co-ordinating with the gnome-volume-manager developers. The result was that both nautilus and gnome-volume-manager tried to handle the mounting of disks, etc. I've been tracking the situation at <http://wiki.debian.org/Gnome/ nautilus_vs_gnome-volume-manager>. Most of these issues have been fixed with the latest releases of gnome-volume-manager, however there is still one bit of overlapping functionality: both nautilus and gnome-volume- manager try to handle digital cameras. We should probably patch this functionality out of one or the other. I think that nautilus 2.22.2 and gnome-volume-manager 2.22.5 are ready for unstable: I have been using them since they appeared in experimental, and I really like GVFS and nautilus' new cluebar and media handling functionality. -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
