Yes, I have to agree, too. I just wanted to make sure everyone else thought the same...

Anton, > send me offlist request if you would like it resolved by myself. I have now done the split successfully (I think). The main ntfsprogs rpm is now back to normal requirements. The split off ntfsprogs-gnomevfs rpm is at same requirements as main ntfsprogs rpm plus all the requirements I listed in my original RFC post listed in the ntfsprogs.spec.in file. Please do have a look and reduce the requirements if you have the time. Relevant files will be the current configure.ac, libntfs/Makefile.am, and ntfsprogs.spec.in and send me a patch if you manage to reduce them. (-: I have just pushed the latest code to linux-ntfs.bkbits.net/ntfsprogs bitkeeper repository and I have also created a snapshot: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ntfsprogs-200311071017.tar.bz2 > As I originally expected 'ntfsprogs-gnomevfs' would get integrated back to > the mainstream 'gnome-vfs2' I did not consider such excessive 'configure.ac' > a problem that time. Unfortunately Alexander Larsson rejected it as it is > (I agree) too much specific piece of code for Gnome-VFS. Yes, I would agree with that, too.
