We released fistgen-0.1.2. You may download it from: ftp://ftp.filesystems.org/pub/fist/fistgen-0.1.2.tar.gz Fistgen is a package for building stackable file systems on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, using a simple language called FiST. For more information, refer to the FiST home page: http://www.filesystems.org/. This release primarily has many fixes and updates for FreeBSD and Linux. *** Notes specific to fistgen 0.1.2: FreeBSD 5.x templates: - minor fixes to FreeBSD-5 templates to work for 5.1 and 5.2. - new templates for FreeBSD-5.3-RELEASE. Linux 2.[46] Templates: - many bugs fixed, thanks to thorough testing with a POSIX test suite. Fixed bugs related to locking, read/write interaction, open files, large files, symlinks, stat() attribute consistency, permissions, and more. - support sendfile() so loopback mounts work through stackable file systems built from fistgen. New fist declaration "license" which takes a string. This declaration MUST be defined to ensure that users of fistgen, especially on Linux, are aware of what license they picked for their output file system; this may affect whether the new file system module will be able to use all of the GPL kernel symbols or not. Cheers, Erez.
