Fusedaap News

School has kept me busy for the past couple of weeks. Today I was able to get back to fusedaap. Today’s release fixes a bunch of problems.

• Fusedaap *should* disconnect from all open daap servers on unmount.
• Closes the zeroconf threads cleanly.

Grab fusedaap-0.2.1 here.

Fusedaap 0.2 is now out.

Changes in this release:

• Fixed Zeroconf problem of not sending packets to request what services are available.
• Will now remove empty directories when a host disconnects.

The Zeroconf problem was messy and my ‘fix’ might be more of a hack. The Zeroconf.py library seems to be the least stable of all of the libraries that fusedaap uses. Fortunately we only are using a subset of the Zeroconf protocol so we can get away with using a modified version Zeroconf.

User kinneko_ja over in the soureforge forums pointed out that the instructions for installing on Sarge do not work with the default kernel that comes with Sarge (I think it is 2.6.8). I changed the instructions to be for Etch instead, with a note that they will work on Sarge if you update to a recent kernel.
