Problem description

  • smb method should try kerberos first (117147)
  • Added gnome-vfs2-93921-canonicalize-symlinks.patch to fix bug #93921. With this, gnome-vfs will canonicalize symbolic links in trash paths so that the trash will work in the intended fashion for external volumes.
  • Added gnome-vfs2-94400-cancelation-rewrite-nld9.diff to fix bug #94400. This is a rewrite of the cancelation mechanism in gnome-vfs; the symptom of the bug was that file descriptors got leaked in certain cases, especially when canceling open() operations.
  • Added gnome-vfs2-samba-3.0.20.patch to make gnome-vfs compile with newer versions of libsmbclient, as they use "close_fn" instead of "close".
