Really? Wow. And here I thought it was a Preference Pane… I guess all development libraries get those. *If you are a user then the answer is "This is a wrong type of question".* and that is singularly the least helpful answer ever. MacFUSE was a package with a function that many users made use of, it's now kicked to the curb and at least two options exist to replace it: is it REALLY so far beyond the pale for someone using the package to ask what the pro/con's are on each? Seems like exactly the right kind of question. As you yourself state (I'll summarize): for users, OSXFUSE is the correct answer; for developers porting a file system, they should choose according to their requirements. *I found it a bit weird that many users ask questions like “what library to > use” or “I installed macfuse but still cannot read my ntfs partition”. The > reason I think is a lack of standard package manager in macosx when users > in addition to a filesystem have to install macfuse developement package. > This makes people think that macfuse is *THE* application that provides > access to NTFS partitions/remote ssh folders etc.* We have a standard package manager: it's called Software Update, and it freaking rocks. For geeks, both Fink and MacPorts have (disgustingly nasty UI'd, generally incomprehensible) package managers. There's no way on to Earth that Apple would expose such suck to their users. For those who want these things, they are out there. Your arrogance is amazing. Try not to break your neck as you get off your high horse and remember that 99.9% of computer users are not programmers and it's bullshit like this that makes them hate those of us who are. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
