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.
Okay thanks a lot for share your through about it. Now we still have a "trouble" where this damned fs is used more and more by high-end devices like camcorder, camera etc. So somewhat we should propose something to our end-users to be able to pick their data and save them to a safer fs. Now if I can certainly package and make it build (and use it due to my camcorder :-) I'm not able to choose between the fuse and the no-fuse one. Any guidance there, or what I should look at first ?
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.
Seems that the no-fuse is now fully GPL available, since last October.
ps : this time without cross-posting, it's not in factory for the moment. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
