Damn crossposting, and then to the wrong list first... :-) -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [opensuse-packaging] exfat-nofuse in factory or at least consolidated in filesystem Datum: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 08:27:54 +0100 Von: Stefan Seyfried An: opensuse-packaging@opensuse.org Hi Bruno, Am 27.01.2014 22:25, schrieb Bruno Friedmann:

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
