Bug-wranglers - could you find a maintainer for this please?

Thanks,
Stu

[Comment 2 stan 2004-06-01 11:32:45 UTC]

the -o argument needs to be the last one for this to work

[Comment 3 stan 2004-06-01 11:39:41 UTC]

Created attachment 32480 [details]
davfs2-0.2.2.ebuild

current release davfs2 version (0.2.2)
-o still needs to be the last argument

this ebuild uses the neon in portage (newer) rather than the one included in
the tarball

[Comment 4 stan 2004-06-01 11:44:47 UTC]

I believe this release (0.2.2) does not yet work with the 2.6 kernel in case anyone is searching for bugs on davfs2 and finds this.

[Comment 5 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2004-11-24 12:07:51 UTC]

Is the new neon still needed with 0.2.3?

[Comment 6 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2004-11-25 12:14:50 UTC]

The original bug should be fixed with 0.2.3.
