Feel free to add whatever occurs to you by finishing the sentence '[VFS] needs ...' ---- [VFS] needs to support more of the core vfs functionality, specifically copy and rename. They are currently lacking, and so tcl's vfs core falls back to open/read/write/close for copy and copy/delete for rename. ---- '''vfs composition:''' the ability to stack vfs on top of one another, ala [Plan 9]. It's got it, [Cache VFS] - complete with write-back. A component of this is '''vfs::add'', which gives the ability to compose file systems functionally. -- 20040612 [CMcC] A more featureful facility is offered by [SEH]'s [A collate/broadcast virtual filesystem] ---- '''versioning vfs:''' write to a file, and the diffs are store and accessed by globbing the file as if it were a directory. People have got to realise that the distinction between file and directory is a purely arbitrary and not particularly useful constraint. Implementation ideas: use CVS or metakit as a backing store? I'm tempted to use metakit with progressive diffs. I guess it ought really to be backend agnostic, but I'm not sure I want to go to the trouble. -- 20040612 [CMcC] [SEH] Try [a versioning virtual filesystem]. ---- [[ [Category VFS] | [Category Suggestions] ]]
