About:
libferris is a virtual filesystem that exposes
hierarchical data of all kinds through a common
C++ interface. Access to data is performed using
C++ IOStreams and Extended Attributes (EA) can be
attached to each file or directory to present
metadata. Ferris uses a plugin API to read various
data sources and expose them as filesystems and to
generate interesting EA. Current implementations
include native (kernel disk IO with fam), XML (mount an XML file as a filesystem), DB4, xmldb, Evolution, Firefox, Emacs, LDAP, HTTP, FTP, eet,
sockets, RDF/XML, RDF/bdb, and mbox. EA generators
include image, audio, and animation decoders.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
Support was added for mounting DBus. Initial support for running metadata extractors in separate processes was added. EA values can be gotten out of the database when presenting results from a PostgreSQL index search. Updates were made to the memory manager. Updates were made for cleaner operation on 64-bit native systems and potential migrations between 32- and 64-bit platforms. The PostgreSQL metadata indexing module was updated. Two example php/XJAX web search interfaces for libferris were added.
