It should be something along the lines of: "This package provides a way to configure network file-sharing using NFS and Samba in the properties dialogue of the file manager" Ah, thank you, kdenetwork-filesharing does expand the properties dialog of a directory, whether from Dolphin or Konqueror. kdenetwork-filesharing provides what its description claims it does in Squeeze, but no longer does in Wheezy. It seems the kcm was removed and scrapped, although it used to provide much more advanced functionality than the current plugin: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=1221565We will provide basic sharing functionality for samba, webdav and other file sharing methods. Later we will add more advanced config options.
Great
GUI: Removing nfs filesharing and old samba filesharing code. I couldn't find any explanation for the removal.We had a discussion in kde-core-devel about the nfs support removal. The reason is unmaintained code that needs superuser rights.
OK, thanks
And this is working. As the files list suggests and as the commit message seems to confirm (since it doesn't specify it refers to the *old* filesharing code for NFS), there is nothing left to configure NFS. FWIW, I apparently also couldn't get kdenetwork-filesharing to work - that is actually get the machine to share a directory that can be seen by an SMB client - but that shall be matter for a later report.Could you explain me later the details of this issue?
kdenetwork-filesharing lost its KCM module since our last release. As your message clarifies, this is not a problem by itself, but an unfortunate - hopefully temporary - decision to improve reliability which was judged to improve on the previous situation. However, the description of kdenetwork-filesharing in Debian testing, which uses KDE 4.8, is the same as the description in Debian 6, which uses KDE 4.4. The description is now entirely misleading. As our package contains no proper documentation, it leaves the wrong description as the only "documentation", which constitutes a serious bug, as people who didn't use a recent kdenetwork-filesharing can't figure out how to use it, limiting the package's possible users to a small minority.
A fix to our package description will help to mitigate the problem. Thanks for the quick reply
