Mon Dec 21 22:26:34 1998 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de> 

* mountlist.c: Define xBSD on FreeBSD.

* doc/mc.sgml, mc.1.in: Deleted obsolete information about
tar_gz_memlimit. Partially rewrote the section about the
Virtual FS.. configuration dialog.

* main.c (parse_an_arg): New function, popt callback. Option
parsing in gmc was broken. The gnome*_init_with_popt_table free
the option tables and gmc tried to use the option tables later.

* main.c (handle_args): In the Gnome edition don't parse the
options a second time.

* boxes.c (configure_vfs), setup.c: Deleted obsolete options.
tar.gz files are now always unzipped to a temporary file on disk.

* gnome/layout: Deleted obsolete widgets from the Virtual FS configuration
dialog.

* vfs/tar.c: Deleted global variable tar_gzipped_memlimit.

Mon Dec 21 14:28:55 1998  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

* filenot.c (my_mkdir_rec): Someone broke this function completely by deleting
a line. Funny things happen if you use an already freed pointer.
Improved error handling: try to make directories recursivly until
mkdir succeeds or fails with errno != ENOENT. Now you will get the
correct error message when you don't have permission to create a
directory.

* mountlist.c: Deleted function prototypes for strdup and strstr,
they might conflict with definitions in the system header files.

(for example, compressed tar files may be kept in RAM for faster

The Tar file system is quite clever about how it handles tar files: it
just loads the directory entries and when it needs to use the
information contained in the tar file, it goes and grab it.

(for eaxample, compressed tar files) the Midnight Commander
has to create a temporary uncompressed file on your disk.
.PP
In the wild, tar files are usually kept compressed (plain tar files
are species in extinction), and because of the nature of those files
(the directory entries for the tar files is not there waiting for us
to be loaded), the tar file system has two choices: load the complete,
uncompressed tar file into memory or uncompress the file in the disk
in a temporary location and then access the uncompressed file as a
regular tar file.

Now, since we all love to browse files and tar files all over the

later. Since uncompression is slow, the Midnight Commander will cache
the information in memory for a limited amount of time, after you hit
the timeout, all of the memory resources associated with the file
system will be freed. The default timeout is set to one minute.

file system has to uncompress the file on the disk in a
temporary location and then access the uncompressed file
as a regular tar file.
Now, since we all love to browse files and tar files all
over the disk, it's common that you will leave a tar file
and the re-enter it later. Since uncompression is slow,
the Midnight Commander will cache the information in
memory for a limited amount of time, after you hit the
timeout, all of the memory resources associated with the
file system will be freed. The default timeout is set to
one minute.

system will be freed. The default timeout is set to one

The FTP File SystemFTP File System keeps the directory listing it
fetches from a ftp server in a cache. The cache expire
time is configurable with the ftpfs directory cache
timeout option. A low value for this option may slow down
every operation on the ftp file System because every
operation is accompanied by a query of the ftp server.
Moreover you can define a proxy host for doing ftp
transfers and configure the Midnight Commander to always
use the proxy host. See the section on FTP File SystemFTP File System
