I wanted to provide the casual customer a bit of clarity on the current state of MacFUSE.
For the short of attention: MacFUSE is dead and doesn't correctly support Lion. Two forks are being developed, both correctly supporting Lion: OSXFUSE is a direct MacFUSE descendent and should largely function as a drop-in replacement. Fuse4X aims to be a pure-FUSE implementation built on top of an updated MacFUSE. Slightly more detail: MacFUSE: The original MacFUSE project is no longer under development. Amit, the author, has moved on to a closed source version [NuFS] that you can license. There are a variety of updates to this code base that have been distributed to get support for Lion and 64-bit Snow Leopard, use them at your own risk. OSXFUSE [https://github.com/osxfuse/]: This is a direct descendent of MacFUSE being lead by Erik Larsson and Benjamin Fleischer - it properly supports Lion [as of the 2.3 branch] and is actively developed. It should largely "just work" if you're already using MacFUSE. You can download it from Github - presumably future releases will live at http://osxfuse.github.com Fuse4X [http://fuse4x.org/]: MacFUSE is notably "not fuse" - in that largely mimics but does not replicate FUSE interface on Linux. Fuse4X descends from MacFUSE but aims to "be fuse" for the Mac and given that, it no longer stands as a pure replacement for MacFUSE - but intends to provide a MacFUSE compatibility layer eventually. It is being actively developed by Anatol Pomozov [https://github.com/fuse4x]. -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
