All,

I just came across a new package.

It is very young in its development, but it may have some basic functionality by summer and I would love to see it in OS 11.2.

It is a HSM (Hierarchical Storage Manager). http://code.google.com/p/fscops/

You can create a package of it and submit it to Contrib ;)

There are going to be patches to the kernel. And I don't think they can be implemented as a module. ie. the interface is pretty intrusive to the filesystem. I think they are looking at ext3 for their first effort.

You should contact the kernel maintainers on opensuse-kernel ML. They can tell you more.

Thus I assume Contrib is not really doable?

In fact, there is nothing like no-kernel-policy-in-contrib. But I don't think, that it's reasonable and kernel requests to Contrib will be rejected ;-) Michal Vyskocil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
