yes, I am sorry, I spend my spare time on JDS/Gnome for now (nearly
completed task). I will look at it later this month if nobody else.
I wonder what should the policy be about near-kernel support of
foreign filesystems - shouldn't these (and FUSE) go to
illumos-gate?
For example, the (native) support of pcfs, hsfs and several others
is maintained there...
This way, all illumos-based distros would have comparable feature
sets in terms of this basic FS interoperability support.
Or is the main gate's current policy to only maintain the projects
with no external upstream (*BSD etc.)? Then the FSes might go into
common oi-build/illumos-userland/name-du-jour (BTW, which one - if
any - is the active project for non-kernel common illumos
software?)
It would require to have somebody pushing it to Illumos, with at
least 2
reviewers. My current experience is not very good in pushing larger
things there, ext2fs did not find any reviewer for a year, WPA
enterprise implementation with WiFi improvements and clean ups are
also
waiting.
In case of FUSE I am not even trying because at least one highly
respected RTI advocate was strong opponent of this FUSE
implementation
even during his SUN carreer.
Best regards,
Milan
I hope you're not referring to me above.
I'd like to see these move ahead,
but have not had time to review...
I am not counting you as opponent, I count you as supporter with
different implementation, there are others :-)
Best regards,
Milan
