nilfs-utils in Fedora now

[Eric Sandeen]

I have nilfs-utils in Fedora now, for F11 and rawhide.  It'll take a
little while for things to get out to the repos, but if anyone is using
nilfs on Fedora, hopefully this'll make things a little easier or
convenient.

For F11 it's headed to the testing repo, for now.

Thanks,
-Eric

Thank you for letting us know this!  I hope your work really helps
nilfs users of fedora to make things easy hereafter.

BTW, is there any plan on adding the kernel code of nilfs to extra
packages for fedora 12 or the later?

Thanks,

Do you mean like a kmod rpm for updated nilfs kernel code that is not
yet upstream?  No, Fedora doesn't allow kmods in the official
repositories.  But nilfs is already configured on in F11 and F12, so
nilfs.ko is already there in the kernel rpm.

Or maybe I misunderstand you question?

Oh, Really?

I was misunderstanding about the basic point.  So, soon nilfs will be
fully available in fedora 11 and 12.  Great!

Hello,

Thank you for your effort to support nilfs in Fedora!

Is nilfs already configured on in Fedora 11?  I tried to use
the kernel package in updates-testing repo, but nilfs2.ko is
not contained in the package.  The package seems to be based
on kernel-2.6.29 which does not include nilfs2.

Are there any repositories with kernel package for F11 which
supports nilfs?

Ah, sorry.  The pending 2.6.30 update for F11 should have it, I forgot
that wasn't done yet.

Thanks,

Sure.  I'm looking forward to appear the updated package.
We will drop our unofficial nilfs packages for Fedora 11
when the official packages are available.

Thanks a lot!
