Description by Sergei Trofimovich: GNU ChangeLog? files are result of CVS stupidpity about changeset tracking. Currently constantly updated ChangeLogs? diverge in different branches and cause collisions(!) when 'git merge' (almost ANY SINGLE MERGE!). Major changes can be described in NEWS file, minor changes can be autogenerated via 'git log'/'git shortlog' and friends (if needed at all).

NOTE: Although vfs has been meant to be implemented as a separate
|
|
entity redistributable under the LGPL in its current implementation it
|
|
uses GPLed code from src/. So there are two possibilities if you want
|
|
to use vfs:
|
|
|
|
1. Distribute your copy of vfs under the GPL. Then you can freely
|
|
include the GPLed functions from the rest of the mc source code.
|
|
|
|
2. Distribute your copy of vfs under the LGPL. Then you cannot include
|
|
the functions outside the vfs subdirectory. You must then either
|
|
rewrite them or work around them in other ways.

Hi!
|
|
|
|
I'm midnight commander's vfs layer. Before you start hacking me,
|
|
please read this file. I'm integral part of midnight commander, but I
|
|
try to go out and live my life myself as a shared library, too. That
|
|
means that I should try to use as little functions from midnight as
|
|
possible (so I'm tiny, nice and people like me), that I should not
|
|
pollute name space by unnecessary symbols (so I do not crash fellow
|
|
programs) and that I should have a clean interface between myself and
|
|
midnight.
|
|
|
|
Because I'm rather close to midnight, try to:
|
|
|
|
* Keep the indentation as the rest of the code. Following could help
|
|
you with your friend emacs:
|
|
|
|
(defun mc-c-mode ()
|
|
"C mode with adjusted defaults for use with the Midnight commander."
|
|
(interactive)
|
|
(c-mode)
|
|
(c-set-style "K&R")
|
|
(setq c-indent-level 4
|
|
c-continued-statement-offset 4
|
|
c-brace-offset 0
|
|
c-argdecl-indent 4
|
|
c-label-offset -4
|
|
c-brace-imaginary-offset 0
|
|
c-continued-brace-offset 0
|
|
c-tab-always-indent nil
|
|
c-basic-offset 4
|
|
tab-width 8
|
|
comment-column 60))
|
|
|
|
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '(".*/mc/.*\\.[ch]$" . mc-c-mode)
|
|
auto-mode-alist))
|
|
|
|
And because I'm trying to live life on my own as libvfs.so, try to:
|
|
|
|
* Make sure all exported symbols are defined in vfs.h and begin with
|
|
'vfs_'.
|
|
|
|
* Do not make any references from midnight into modules like tar. It
|
|
would probably pollute name space and midnight would depend on concrete
|
|
configuration of libvfs. mc_setctl() and mc_ctl() are your
|
|
friends. (And mine too :-).

PS: If you'd like to use my features in whole operating system, you
|
|
might want to link me to rpc.nfsd. On
|
|
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/podfuk/podfuk.html you'll find
|
|
how to do it.
|
|
|
|
PPS: I have a friend, shared library called avfs, which is LD_PRELOAD
|
|
capable. You can reach her at http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs.
