The current lufs checks for gnome 1 libraries to determine whether to compile in gnome VFS support. However, modifying it to enable the use of either gnome 1 or gnome 2 as available is trivial, requiring a minimum of alteration to configure.in and source code. I have submitted the patch to http://sourceforge.net/projects/lufs and will now post it here.
Created attachment 23787 [details, diff] Patch to enable gnome 2 support I have tested this patch in an ebuild (my system: Linux 2.6.1-gentoo-r1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux, Gnome 2.4.1) and it works fine. As it patches configure.in, the updated ebuild needs to execute autoconf after patching. autoconf-2.59 works but is not the version the author used to generate the distributed package: a patch to configure would be excessively large unless one were to use the same version of autoconf.
Can you please try if this is fixed by Bug 67212, comment if it works and add a dependency?
67212 seems to work fine. In your lufs ebuild you have unpack ${A}; this tries to unpack vlfs-0.3.diff and fails. You might consider gzipping the diff, or using unpack ${P}.tar.gz.
I have seen the error in other offizial ebuilds too, but I think its godd idea to make it unpack ${P}.tar.gz, what do you think?
I have added it to portage, however I left this file system out from the filesystems-to-be-built list, as it failed, when I tried to mount it with lufs. Can you please try to modify the filesystems target in the ebuild in portage and test if it works for you?
You can use kio-slaves bindings for fuse now to achieve that I think .. anyway if you have still interest in this (old obsolete)method to mount, please test and reopen.
