For the shake, it would be wonderful to synchronize the different offer we have on obs about exfat.
For example have the best of dkms alternative available here https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:aevseev/exfat-nofuse-dkms or native https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Akoellh:Kernelmodules/exfat-nof...
and the fuse exfat-utils
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:seife:testing/exfat-utils https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:seife:testing/fuse-exfat
I just packaged those because I was under the impression that exfat would be a good filesystem for external storage portable across OSs (Hint: it is not), so I'm not really using it anymmore. I can submit it to filesystems, but I will certainly not maintain it, since I am not using it.
Would be nice to have all effort submitted to filesystems repository and then pushed to factory. Also the different packagers could work together offering a perfect need for our end-users community
For Factory / openSUSE, the legal limbo in which all this exFAT stuff is hanging is probably a problem. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
