Hello!
What do you think of support exfat in Mga2?
There are two packages (already in Debian, Fedora, partly Mandriva)
exfat-fuse and exfat-utils both iinm shall land in tainted.
Why ?
if it went to Fedora, it should be good enough for core/
( now I do not see it on F16, so maybe you mean something else than "in
Fedora repository" when you mean "in Fedora" ).
From Wikipedia:
"An experimental, open source Linux kernel module that supports the
reading of exFAT files is currently under development.[13] It cannot
become an official part of Linux due to the patent encumbered status of
the exFAT filesystem. A FUSE-based full-featured implementation is
currently in beta status."
The packages are in Russian Fedora Free for F15/F16/Rawhide, according
to http://packages.debian.org/sid/exfat-utils
For Debian it's probalby in the main repository (but I'm unsure)
http://packages.debian.org/sid/exfat-fuse
http://packages.debian.org/sid/exfat-utils
Though the software is licensed under GPLv3+.
