[opensuse] Google Drive Ocamlfuse for 13.2
Dear openSUSErs, I just want to inform you about the availibility of google-drive-ocamlfuse for 13.2 here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:frispete:ocaml http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/frispete:/ocaml/openSUSE_13.... It allows to mount Google Drives via fuse. Since build wasn't exactly straight forward, I expect a couple of failed attempts in the openSUSE community already. Given, how many packages were missing, it's a little frustrating to see collegues just adding a repo in debian/ubuntu, installing the package, and be done with it. Oh well. It seems to work fine, but bear with me, as I'm an Ocaml rookie. Ocamls build environment isn't the real Mc Coy, either. I'm interested in package build feedback of course, and you _might_ cc me for technical issues, but put them in the proper places, e.g.: https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse/issues Get the fun back-ly y'rs, Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, It wasn't clear which of the dozens of RPMs I would need from that repository so I just picked the first one, google-drive-ocamlfuse and let yast figure out the rest (and it turns out I needed nothing else). Then I followed the directions (as user, not root) from this page: https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse/blob/master/doc/Usage.md and after answering a couple web page pop-ups from Google, It was up and running quite painlessly. Mounting and unmounting went well. Access is as fast as your internet connection and all the functions of KDE Dolphin work, (previews, etc) because Dolphin thinks its a local drive. ODT documents all insist they are locked by another user, so you can't edit them in place. I seem to remember people having the same problem on NAS storage. All in All, fairly painless. ----note: Google still is promising a native linux Drive app, but they appear to be in no hurry as the promise has been on that page for a long time. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry, forgot to tell: all those ocaml packages was needed for the build, the package google-drive-ocamlfuse includes everything, that is needed to use this thing.

Hehe, the package description might be sufficient, but a README.SuSE would cut it better, I admit.

Yes, the beauties of FUSE.

Will check this out.
All in All, fairly painless.
Great, thanks for the feeedback.

Sure, but don't expect too much. Look at Google Earth (if you find some random version, that is not crashing right from the start). It seems, they're are not capable to get and keep things stable, if the userbase is smaller than 10 millions.. Consequently, they ignore related bug reports. Needless to say, I hate this attitude.

Have you thought about SR'ing to the devel:languages:ocaml repo? https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:ocaml -- Later, Darin On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 7:34 PM, Hans-Peter Jansen <hpj@urpla.net> wrote:
