i need this old version of fuse to work with siefs. i've tried to patch it just like version 2.1 (with changing vfs-permission to generic-permission if needed), but no success with that....
Created attachment 47393 [details] fuse-1.4-kernel-2.6.10.patch just changing it like in fuse-2.1 worked for me .. strange
i've tried your patch and it doesn't work either. fuse is installed, but i still have warning about this unknown symbol: <root@CogES>/tmp: emerge --oneshot =sys-fs/fuse-1.4 Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-fs/fuse-1.4 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) fuse-1.4.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking fuse-1.4.tar.gz to /var/portage/tmp/portage/fuse-1.4/work * Applying fuse-1.4.patch ...

[ ok ] >>> sys-fs/fuse-1.4 merged. i've tried also always change vfs_permission to generic_permission (without the "if ... else... endif" clause) in case my kernel isn't recognized corectly, but that doesn't help either. it's strange, becouse greping for vfs_permission in all fuse's sources shows only those two places in dir.c (so if i changed it where can this warning comes from?;/ ) if you got any ideas what else i can try, please let me know.... BTW: i'm using vanilia 2.6.10, downloaded and configured manually (not handled by portage)
i've found solution for it. it's about inconsequency in diffrent fuse version. fuse-2.1 (which i've had installed by mistake at begginning) installs module in /lib/modules/2.6.10/fs/fuse.ko. then i've realized i need version 1.4 so i simple emerge it, but while merging 1.4 it want's to install in /lib/modules/2.6.10/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko in the other hand - portage will never remove /lib/modules/2.6.10/fs/fuse.ko, even during deinstalation of fuse-2.1, couse this dir belongs to $CONFIG_PROTECT (by default), so we've got two modules named fuse in kernel dir i do not now why i had that warning with vfs_permision, since version 2.1 is patched by default anyway and i can't reproduce it now, however as you can see - it's impossible to automatically downgrade from fuse-2.1 to -1.4 and what's worse - user'd think that he made it (well - i'm not sure which module'll be loaded during modprobe fuse, but i assume it'd be the one from 2.1 version) solution (or rather workaround) for that is manually remove module from 2.1 version. after that i was able to emerge 1.4 without warning (your patch hovewer is still needed and shoulkd be included in portage)
I changed the old ebuild to also install in /lib/modules/$KV}/fs
