Re: F39: Add module cockpit-navigatoir to default Installation
Hello Peter,
Peter Boy [2023-05-21 10:42 +0200]:
Cockpit offers a new module, the Cockpit Navigator, a file system
browser.
Note that this project is in a very bad shape. It lacks important features such
as updating the UI when the file system changes, has *zero* integration tests,
uses a totally outdated UI which doesn't fit into the rest of the PatternFly
4/5 Cockpit world, and uses strange ways to communicate with the OS. It also
hasn't gotten any significant updates in 1.5 years (just some minimal "keep it
alive" maintenance).
But as it happens, we have a Google Summer of Code student now who is working
on navigator, to turn it into a supportable project. This is a "friendly fork"
(with the agreement of 45drives), and in late summer we may be able to switch
the Fedora package to that.
So, if you are happy enough with the current package, don't let me stop you of
course -- but admittedly the current package isn't something that the Cockpit
team would really love to support and let loose to more users.
Thanks!
Pitti
