I worked on creating a virtual filesystem (hackerlab vu layer) for both zip files, and for an sqlite database. I don't know that I got very far with the sqlite database.
Such functionality really should be in a real file-system, so that you don't have to require special libraries to use either zip files, sql databases, or ftp as your backend file-system. I just cringe everytime I see yet another virtual file-system library, you have one for GNU Midnight Commaner, then you have one for GNOME, you have tramp in Emacs, etc. This should be in a lower level of the operting system, so that all programs make use of whatever fancy features one has without having to modify them. Did I say that the Hurd supports for all of this? ;-) _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
