Hello,
since I'm a daily user of afuse I would like to see it in Debian
testing. As a result I vibecoded with the help of Google Gemini libfuse3
support for afuse, reviewed, cleaned it up and tested it myself. I
wonder if someone maybe noisycoil would sponsor me if none else shows
interest. I also approached the maintainer several months ago, but did
not receive any feedback.
Here is the pull request:https://github.com/pcarrier/afuse/pull/13
The patch is also here:https://tg.st/u/0001-Add-libfuse3-support.patch
I gave a look at the changes but I'm not familiar at all with the
codebase. Since I don't understand what I'm looking at, I'm afraid I
can't help you with the sponsorship.
As for the use of generative AI, note that Debian doesn't have a policy
yet on whether such contributions are acceptable, mostly (but not only)
for copyright reasons. Looking at the changes, most of them look simple
enough that they are probably not even copyrightable, but the
`afuse_utimens` function concerns me a bit. If it came from somewhere,
we should know to what extent it reproduces other code and add a
copyright notice if needed. Unfortunately, AIs being black boxes we
can't really do that.
Cheers,
Thomas
