time to remove cfs?
tag 451809 -patch
thanks
Hi,
cfs, a file system (daemon, implemented via NFS?), is quite broken with
a serious open since November. A patch (that caused the patch tag to be
set) from June allows mounting the filesystem but is a far cry from a
proper fix. There is no visible activity in the last three months, the
maintainer remained silent after a failed attempt to fix the bug in January.
As a conclusion, it seems unlikely that 451809 is going to be fixed for
lenny and its questionable wether we should not release cfs unfixed.
It does not seem to have reverse dependencies. It is in stable and has a
popcon of 117, but it seems that we don't really have much options, as
the last mail to the bug comments "It is possible to debug CFS for 64
bit systems [...], but it would be very hard, because code is not
supported for a long time".
Kind regards
T.
