SubjectANNOUNCE: podfuk - userfs replacement in 300 lines
Hi!

I'd like to announce podfuk - userfs replacement which can currently
decompress files (gz, bz2), work with compressed archives (just cd to
them, tar, zip, arj, deb, rpm), and work with anonymous ftp (would not
you _love_ to cat /#ftp:ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/patch
2.2.6.gz#ugz | patch -Esp1?). And that all in 400 lines (well, it
links against midnight commander :-).

Podfuk v2, unlike userfs which required kernel patch, and unlike
podfuk-old which used nfs, uses coda client, present in 2.2.x linux
kernels. Attached code can be used to redirect requests for all
non-existent files into /overlay tree. [Can someone comment on quality
of attached kernel patch? Is there smarter way? Is it usefull for
something other than podfuk?]

Pavel
