** 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. It won't actually be enabled until a user turns it on in Settings > Sharing > File Sharing. When turned on, the user's ~/Public folder is shared. A password can easily be set and the user can pick specific networks to share to.
