Ok, reassigning to gvfs-backends. Basically, it'd be nice to split the backends package in few packages so people can install only the one they need. Splitting using one package per backend might clutter a bit too much, so a proposition could be: gvfs-backends with only the “standard” ones. Standard is a bit fuzzy, but basically http/dav/ftp/ssh/cdda/smb/ gvfs-backend-photo with the gphoto2 stuff gvfs-backend-mobiledevice with the afc/mobiledevice/iphone stuff gvfs-backend-obex with the bluetooth stack What do you think? -- Yves-Alexis
