Project description
=

Archfs is a filesystem that displays rdiff-backup archives in a
user-friendly fashion. It is built using FUSE library, that makes
possible creating filesystems in userspace. This particular filesystem
analyzes given single or multiple rdiff-backup archives and allows to
browse its contents.

Project status
==

All planned features are operational. Autotools are used to configure,
build and install filesystem. I am learning how ebuilds are made and
gathering feedback from users in order to work on code's quality and
robustness.

Timeline
==
1 VIII - 10 VIII - making it possible to add software to gentoo
distribution; presenting software to possible large number of users to
gather feedback
11 VIII - 20 VIII - excessive testing; using feedback gathered from
users for fixing bugs/adding smaller features;

[gentoo-dev] archfs - filesystem for rdiff-backup archives

2007-07-11 Thread Filip Gruszczyński

Hello everyone,

This is my first mail here, so I would like to introduce myself. My
name is Filip Gruszczyński, I am studying CS at the Warsaw University.
I am currently developing small filesystem, that makes accessing
rdiff-backup archives a lot easier. This project is a part of Google
Summer of Code, under mentorship of Gentoo Foundation.

Unfortunately I know very few people, who actually use rdiff-backup
and I can hardly find anyone, who would like to provide me with some
feedback or feature requests. I am very interested in opinions and
advice, as this is my first large, OSS project.

Filesystem can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/archfs/. The
code is still very immature and I am far from accepting its quality,
yet all basic features I wanted this filesystem to have are already
there. Now I would like to focus on quality and robustness, and that
is why external opinion would be very useful. If anyone here uses
rdiff-backup and would like to take look and then inform me about the
results, I would be very happy.
