gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.24.2 When I do gnomevfs-ls ftp://ftp.gnome.org/debian it ends with segmentation fault. 'debian' is a symbolic link to directory. gvfs is ok in this case, but some application still use gnome-vfs :( I've found piece of code for this: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35571673/gnome-vfs_2.24.2-1ubuntu2.debdiff After patch there is no seg fault anymore. Could you add this patch to main portage? tnx. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. gnomevfs-ls ftp://ftp.gnome.org/debian
Created attachment 223761 [details, diff] patch for ftp symlink issue
gnome-vfs is deprecated, apparently for command line this should be used instead these days: gvfs-mount ftp://ftp.gnome.org/ gvfs-ls ftp://ftp.gnome.org/debian or just opening nautilus ftp://ftp.gnome.org/debian or something for graphical thing. That said, I think we could/should still review and include the patch for gnome-vfs
Should upstream be contacted for incorporating the fix or is gnome-vfs development completely finalized?
(In reply to comment #3) > Should upstream be contacted for incorporating the fix or is gnome-vfs > development completely finalized? Consider it dead. You can always try, but they'll probably laugh at us :) Cheers.
It was already upstreamed and applied, I will commit it as soon as possible
