GNOME smb module not usable with libsmbclient >= 3.0
Hi,
Besides i18n problems (I have this bug too) gnome-vfs-extras2 package has
much bigger problems - browsing smb network isn't usable in Debian Sarge :(
When I type smb: in nautilus window a login dialog comes asking, that I
have to enter credentials to view smb://WORKGROUP. I canceled the login
prompt and nautilus window displayd some workgroups. Double clicked on a
workgroup, nautilus tried to displayed some computers present in that
workgroup. Authentication dialog prompted again and again to enter
credentials to view a particular machine in the list. But I was not trying
to view that machine and I have not clicked on it. I've found this bug
on gnome bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119172
It seems, that this is libsmbclient version 3.0.x bug:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700
This bug is fixed in gnome-vfs-extras version 0.99.13, but this version
depends on gnome-vfs version 2.5.x :(
It seems, that someone should port some changes from 0.99.13 to
0.99.12, which depends on gnome-vfs version 2.4 and upload improved
gnome-vfs-extras2 version 0.99.12 package to debian. I've tried to port
these changes to gnome-vfs version 2.4 but it's too dificult for me :(
Could anyone more experienced in gnome-vfs coding help to make debian
with Gnome desktop usable in smb network?
Should I report a bug for gnome-vfs-extras2 debian package ?
