Gnome VFS Mount 0.1

Submitted by tigrux on Fri, 2004-10-08 16:57. Bag of Software

Hello folks.

Since I saw gmailfs, I wondered why gnome did not have a way to
mount gnomevfs-uris on the linux filesystem.

I have taken a look into fuse and I realized it would be very easy doing the same with gnomevfs.

Then, I've written a small program, named gnomevfs-mount available in my primates (currently, but it could be moved to a SourceForge
project soon).

Examples

Intalling it is easy, just ./configure && make && make install

For rpm based distributions (RedHat, Fedora, Mandrake, SuSE) a spec is provided inside the tarball, then you can generate rpms with:

rpmbuild -ta gnomevfs-mount-0.1.tar.bz2

It supports authentification using gnome-keyring so you don't have to write the same password if you are using gnome-keyring-manager.

Since the original announce it has changed a little, emphasizing autotools support and authentification.

I want to thank Teuf and Federico in #gnome for answering my repetive questions. :)

Comments and ideas are welcome.
