Sun Jan 31 20:04:13 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de> * vfs/vfs.c (vfs_strip_suffix_from_filename): Whoever replaces every occurance of 0 with NULL should stop this stupidy. And replacing '\0' with NULL is plain wrong!!. Reverted this replacement. * vfs/ftpfs.c (load_no_proxy_list): ditto Fri Jan 29 22:55:56 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de> * slang/slang.h: renamed to slang-mc.h * slang/Makefile.in: delete slang.h on "make clean" * configure.in: link slang/slang-mc.h to slang/slang.h when the included slang is used. Problem was that MC's slang.h was used when we compiled with an already installed SLang and the systems header file were included with <slang/slang.h>. Unfortunatly I can't use AC_LINK_FILES to make the links because if we needn't make any links AC_LINK_FILES makes a link from srcdir to top_builddir (builddir != srcdir). Temporary add $LGPM to $LIBS when checking for the resizeterm and keyok functions (ncurses might be linked against GPM). Substitude PACKAGE (intl/Makefile makes use of it) Sun Jan 31 19:42:47 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de> * gnome/Makefile.in (install_mx): make it work with srcdir != builddir (gmc.gnorba is located in $srcdir) * src/hotlist.c (add_new_entry_input, add_new_group_input): Make the quick_widget arrays static and various changes needed because they are now static. add_widgets_i18n recalculates button positions which get lost when the quick_widget arrays are non static. * src/screen.c (to_buffer): nul terminate string when using strncpy * src/setup.c: Save and restore new option ftpfs_first_cd_then_ls. Sun Jan 31 19:57:24 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de> * vfs/ftpfs.c (insert_dot): New function. Insert a "." into the linked list. Stat'ing the root directory of a ftpfs fails if the dot is missing. (retrieve_dir): insert "." into the linked list if the ftp server haven't send it. Sun Jan 31 19:50:24 1999 Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de> * The following changes make ftpfs work with a remote AmiTCP server are the result of somehow longish EMail debugging session. I don't know any public server of this kind but I was told the combination Unix/Amiga boxes are often used in intranets. * vfs/ftpfs.c (translate_path): New function. Translate a Unix path, i.e. MC's internal path representation (e.g. /somedir/somefile) to a path valid for the remote server. Every path transfered to the remote server has to be mangled by this function right prior to sending it. Currently only Amiga ftp servers are handled in a special manner. * vfs/ftpfs.c (various places): use translate_path * vfs/ftpfs.c (login_server): Assume we have to mangle pathnames if the greatings string from the server contains the word Amiga. If this assumption is wrong I have to find another way to turn on path translation. * vfs/ftpfs.c (ftpfs_get_current_directory): Prepend a leading slash if it is missing. MC needs it as seperator between hostname and path in its internal url representation.
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 namespace by unneccessary 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 updating ChangeLog file.
* 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 namespace 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.
