RE: WebDav, DavFS, Slide and else ....

2002-08-22 Thread ROSSEL Olivier

At the moment, I could get davFS (Linux) to work fine as a 
local filesystem.
I tried cvsfs, but could not make it to work.
It's toio bad because it has a natural naming convention - older version
of file
mapping. Any help is welcome.

BTW, I think the newer CVS system made by GNU will have a WebDAV
interface. May be it will also implement
that naming convention system.

 _I_ really don't think so! It's really good!
 It is actually how I'd like my content contributors to 
 interact with my 
 server. I don't know how to code it, but I would be _very_ interested 
 if you get it up and running! :-) Have you looked at the 
 webdav example 
 in tomcat4, BTW?
 
 Best,

 Note: my initial problem is to have CVS capabilities on my XML data files,
 that are
 updated via Cocoon (it's for Wikiland).

Do have run davfs anytime? It's the hell. I never got this to work.

I MUST install Slide and test its functionnalities.
But I like very much the idea of having no stuff on the client side.
Just a filesystem with (for example) naming conventions for accessing 
older versions or metadata. 
And all the dirty work is done by the filesystem abstraction and
the WebDAV server.

So when a user destroys a topic in wikiLand, I go to the
(WebDAV) filesystem, make a move of .topic.xml__revisions/topic.xml__last
to topic.xml and everything works again.
See what I mean?

Could Slide be the WebDAV server that does all that?
