Re: Fwd: RFS: fuse-convmvfs

["Hero_xbd!.RRR" <heroxbd@gmail.com>]

I have tried the package. It is extremly useful in regarding FTP i18n 
problem.

(Actually rfc2640 is intending to solve this. But most of the FTP 
servers and clients are not aware of rfc2640.)

For example for Chinese charactors, FTP clients in Windows use GBK, 
while it is painful to use GBK under GNU/Linux.

Some FTP servers in GNU/Linux uses iconv to convert filename encodings 
back and forth, but they are not mature and are just pieces of hack.

IMO, convmvfs provides a cleverer solution by isolating the problem from 
particular daemons (FTP server), transparently handling it "deeper" in 
the level of mounting. So it have the potential to handle other 
multilingual filename problem, not restricted to FTP.

I am looking forward to seeing this good package in the offical debian 
repository.
