I think I'd rather have a versioning filesystem (what emacs emulates if you set version-control to t, I've seen the real thing on the Xerox lisp machines in the CS lab ten years ago) than a "trashcan". And if you do a trashcan, it seems like nicer to have a DELETED bit in the node than moving files around to magic directories. I guess one could have a generic versioning-by-renaming thing in diskfs. I also think the file update semantics could be improved, but perhaps we'd get to far off topic. /Niels _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
