Hallo All,
I saw that sshfs was in the core programme set and found that the version was at 2.2 and had been implemented in 2008.
sshfs is now at version 3.7.1 and thought I would update it. However I then found a problem.
From version 3.0.0 onwards (Jul 2017) sshfs build capability using Meson and Ninja was added. Installation was still able to be done via autotools as a fallback. From 3.3.0 (Sep 2017) autotools was dropped and the build can only be done via Meson and Ninja.
So the latest version that could still be built in IPFire using autotools is 3.2.0 (Aug 2017). It requires libfuse 3.1.0 or newer. libfuse 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 can still be built with autotools. From libfuse 3.2.0 autotools build support has been dropped.
Looking at sshfs, it is not clear to me what this is being used for in IPFire. The commit message in 2008 was "Added sshfs to supported fuse filesystems"
Any guidance or suggestions on what should be done with sshfs?
Regards,
Adolf
