• LayerFS open to community

  After quite some time without maintenance but sources closed in at rarely used computers of the former members of Feldner & Braun GbR, LayerFS sources are right now open to public development. The very next step should be to bring these soures to compile with today's build environments on RISC OS, i.e. up-to-date versions of - the C++ compiler suite for RISC OS - OSLib - Toolbox At least that were the libraries against which LayerFS was built in the past. At the same time it might be interesting to develop a vision for the future of LayerFS after having it build from the released source. How about, for example, branch off an implementation of the same idea based on FUSE (File system in User Space)? Or, on the other extreme, extract parts of LayerFS as a base for other file systems on RISC OS? Discussion is open, forums and mailing lists set up, source code is submitted. Now it's up to you - will you join a community, to take up the project and develop further?
