I didn=E2=80=99t use it in= quite a while. But I suppose that we won=E2=80=99t get away with it much longer to not inclu= de ninja and meson. Many projects have moved away from autotools and started = making packagers=E2=80=99 life hell. I think Stefan might have built them for IPFire 2 before. sshfs can be used to mount a remote file system on the firewall. It is handy = for backups and for development and does not need anything else but the SSH d= aemon and SFTP on the remote side. -Michael > On 21 Dec 2020, at 18:06, Adolf Belka wrote: >=20 > Hallo All, >=20 > I saw that sshfs was in the core programme set and found that the version w= as at 2.2 and had been implemented in 2008. >=20 > sshfs is now at version 3.7.1 and thought I would update it.
