FUSE in kernel 2.6.14 and userspace support for it

[Rok Ruzic]

FUSE (Filesystem in USEr space) http://fuse.sf.net/ is being included in the mainline kernel 2.6.14. It has been in -mm since january 2005 and is now in -rc.

FUSE consists of a kernel module and some userspace parts. Is there any initiative to provide the userspace parts of FUSE as a fedora package, since the fuse kernel module is being mainlined?

I am aware of some unofficial FUSE packages for fedora, aswel as some filesystems packaged for fedora, that use FUSE. Those filesystems usually also distribute FUSE, and to eliminate confusion, it would be most beneficial to provide FUSE binaries in an official fedora package.

Anyway, if there is an intiative to create such packages, i'd like to know about it.
