Hi, last month I presented a paper at the DC-2011 conference, describing the problem of incompatibilities in xattr implementations across OS and FS and their preservation when moving files across, and a possible solution.
The paper is available here as PDF: http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/dc-2011/paper/view/53 The slides are here: http://revolf.free.fr/DCMI/2011/69-73-FR_DC2011_UXA.pdf And a small screencast I did showing the issue: http://revolf.free.fr/DCMI/2011/69-73-FR_DC2011_UXA_CurrentProblemDemo.ogv I'd like to start a discussion about how we could work together with other projects to achieve this, so please read and comment. François. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
