Hey,

in gnome 2.22, gio and gvfs will start replacing gnome-vfs as the vfs
layer of gnome. gio is part of glib, gvfs is a standalone module. I have
now completed the builds of glib2, gvfs, eel2, nautilus and libgnomeui
that bring gio and gvfs into rawhide.

Note that a few things are not working yet, e.g. authentication for
remote filesystems, and the http/webdav backend is not there yet.

If you want to try gvfs in the file chooser,
change /desktop/gnome/interface/file_chooser_backend to "gvfs".


Happy holidays, Matthias

Is gvfs a big enough change in terms of capabilities to make it
notable for release notes and general "new cool crap" in f9?

yes
but its part of gnome 2.22 so it should already be in gnome's release notes

is this going to be enabled by default
or is it just not ready for gnome 2.22 / F9 ?

I would expect it to be enabled by default.
But why don't you try it and find out by yourself if it is ready for
F9 ? If I don't hear any major screams after the holidays, I'm probably
going to turn it on for test1.

where did I say that I am not going to test it ? I just wondered
why its off by default...
I am planning to create a new rawhide install (my current one is pre
f8) and play with it in the next days.

Aren't all new features in a fedora release ultimately in the
underlying component's release notes? The question is... is this
specific technology change important enough to shout about in F9 as
part of our distribution notes. Just saying we have gnome 2.22 or
repeating gnome 2.22's release notes verbatim isn't a particular good
idea. We have to cherry-pick specific technology changes to be verbose
about. Among all the changes going into the gnome stack.. is gvfs a
bean enough deal to get some print space in our fedora specific
release materials? If so, probablly needs a feature page in the wiki
