AVFS Description

AVFS is a system, which enables all programs to look inside gzip, tar, zip, etc. files. AVFS is a system, which enables all programs to look inside gzip, tar, zip, etc. files or view remote (ftp, http, dav, etc.) files, without recompiling the programs.It currently supports floppies, tar and gzip files, zip, bzip2, ar and rar files, ftp sessions, http, webdav, rsh/rcp, ssh/scp. Quite a few other handlers are implemented with the Midnight Commander's external FS.AVFS can be installed in two ways. These are:Avfscoda This method in theory works on any Linux system which has the 'coda' filesystem compiled in the kernel or as a kernel module. In practice it works best with glibc-6.1 or higher, and it has been tested on 2.2.X and 2.4.X kernels.Preload Currently this works on solaris systems. There are problems making the preload method work for GLIBC version 6.1 or higher, so systems using GLIBC are not supported.Using AVFS is very similar in both cases. Differences will be indicated.The installation method is different. For installation instructionssee the files 'INSTALL.preload' and 'INSTALL.avfscoda' respectively.What's New in This Release:· utar supports long names in POSIX ustar archives· fixed truncation of 100 byte long file names in tar archive· fixed crash in zlib code· fixed deadlock in extfs code· updated bzlib to 1.0.3· updated avfsd to use fuse API version 26several extfs fixes:· fixed ucpio script· fixed bug in extfs symlink handling (patch from Tanmoy Bhattacharya)· fixed ftplist to output correct symlinks and to support http/ssh (patch from Tanmoy Bhattacharya)· extfs scripts rpm and trpm outputs correct file sizes (important for fuse) (patch from Tanmoy Bhattacharya)· ftppass/davpass checks for additional base avfs directories. Environment variable AVFSBASE can be set for non-default directory. (patch from Tanmoy Bhattacharya)· ftp module supports @ in usernames (patch from Tanmoy Bhattacharya)· the avfs library is built and installed by default additionally to fuse/avfscoda/preload depending on the actual system· added RPM spec file for avfs-fuse (patch from Tanmoy Bhattacharya)
