Remove the non-blocking flag from the fd passed to
g_daemon_file_input_stream_new(). This is needed because our userland
threads set the fd to non-blocking where g_input_stream_*() functions
are blocking operations.
This fixes the progress bar display and allows to write to remote
directories like ftp, sftp, webdav. Reading from these remote locations
is "somehow" working now too, but there is still something fishy when
copying directories.
You have been warned. However, it's much better than it was.
GVFS is a replacement for GnomeVFS, the GNOME Virtual File System
GVFS consists of two parts: a shared library which is loaded by
applications supporting GIO and GVFS itself, a collection of daemons
which communicate with each other and the GIO module over D-Bus. This
moves the virtual file systems out of client processes, contrary to
GnomeVFS, but somewhat similar to KIO.
GVFS will eventually replace gnome-vfs2, as more and more applications
are ported to use GIO. In the meantime it remains unlinked from the builds.
Earlier version of this port created while enjoying good beer at FOSDEM.
Quite some patches are already accepted upstream in the meantime.
