nautilus-share is not part of GNOME so GNOME doesn't consider the existing Nautilus feature to be duplication. ** Changed in: mod-dnssd (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1731065 Title: [MIR] mod-dnssd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mod-dnssd/+bug/1731065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Availability Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian. Rationale = Ubuntu has shipped gnome-user-share for years but a key feature (and now its only feature) was broken because its required dependencies weren't installed (likely because of reluctance to ship Apache in the default install.) (LP: #536766) The feature, called Personal File Sharing, uses WebDAV to share files over the network. It needs apache2-bin and libapache2-mod-dnnsd. Those packages are not enough to actually run a web server. apache2 is already in main. I believe every other GNOME distro has shipped this feature and its required dependencies by default for several years. The Ubuntu Desktop team would like to ship this feature pre-installed.

[Bug 1731065] Re: [MIR] mod-dnssd
Don't we already have support for sharing folders in a secure fashion over the network with samba? That's a much better solution than sharing files in clear text over webdav. What devices actually connect to webdav file shares? What kind of authentication is present when you turn on webdav file shares? Why is this preferable to the existing "Local Network Share" option in nautilus? I don't think an empty settings panel is justification enough for shipping and supporting ill-advised and unmaintained software. Disabling the settings panel and relying on cloud-based file sharing seems to me like a better idea to me than allowing a user to turn on insecure file sharing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1731065 Title: [MIR] mod-dnssd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mod-dnssd/+bug/1731065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Because users want to be able to share files over the local network and over Bluetooth. It's turned off by default. It's shipped by every GNOME distro I know of for many years. Otherwise, the 18.04 Settings > Sharing panel is empty!

I'm not sure a tool designed to share files using Apache over the local network and over bluetooth should be something we want to officially support in main.
