Ben:
Hmm, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe just use a string, since thats easy to marshal. All we need to do with it is compare it anyway.

It looks like g_file_replace() takes the mtime of the previous version so that you can avoid the lost update problem. However, for HTTP you’d really want to use the ETag instead, and for other protocols maybe some other unique version identifier. Maybe GFileInfo should include some kind of opaque version identifier? Or, of course, maybe I misunderstood what the mtime is there for (haven’t looked at the code).

There is no gvfs mailing list at this point. Discussions have happened on the gnome-vfs mailing list and the Gtk+ mailing list.

(I thought the presentation was good, btw, and I like the way GVFS looks.

Still, the questions would’ve been better at the end.

I’d love to be able to see the slides, but installing OpenOffice is not an option for me. Would you consider reposting them in PDF format?
