Hi, While working in the upcoming release of lkarmafs, there are a couple of issues which require some discussion and consensus:
1. tune write/delete permission management 2. options for naming the path-name formation props when uploading I'll discuss 2 in another message.

I think that if you are allowing writes to > tune/ then deletes should be allowed as well. I think delete and write permissions should have a uniform treatment. If we (optionally) enable write permission for the full filesystem, then tunes are almost in an identical situation as taxi files. Currently, taxi files have individual access permission under control of the standard unix file permission flags. To implement this I choosed a suitable property, "play_count_limit", which is never used for taxis, and used it to store the flags (at least a 16 bits integer is needed). However, this property is important for tunes, so we have to choose another one or change the permission management altogether. For tune files we have the added complication of the (virtual) directories, for which permissions can not be easyly maintained. Comments? Ideas? Best, EV. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
