Hi all, A while back, Emacs 26 came out with advertised support for accessing Google Drive. Unfortunately, this feature is dependent on GNOME Virtual file system ( https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs ). While I was weighing the ups and downs of trying to install this program (which has a lot of dependencies and makes me worry that uninstallation will not be straightforward), I came across a piece of advice from someone about this issue. He said:
> I have an older version of Macports (for OSX 10.6.8) that gives me the > ability to control the installation destination, but it has notation > stating that the destination feature would be going away in later > releases. It is my recollection that I was able to find the same > destination feature for my laptop running the last version of El > Capitan. If you can find a release of Macports that supports (although > discouraged by the developers) destination installations, you can > easily install the desired libraries and then delete the entire > installation from your hard drive if things don't work out. I.e., no > need to uninstall and so forth -- just rip it out and throw away the > trash. > I'd be interested to know if anyone gets this working since I started > to use GoogleDrive for some business related projects and am just > uploading or dragging/dropping using Firefox/Chrome and Finder. I have dug through the ChangeLog and I am not sure which release(s) of MacPorts this person is referring to. I would like to try out what he's suggesting, but I'm having a tough time finding this needle in the proverbial haystack. If someone who knows what he's referring to could shed some light on this situation, I would be very appreciative. Thanks.
