==== Description: ====
davfs2 is a file system that maps the resources of a WebDAV-server into a
file system and mouts it. It uses either the fuse or the coda kernel files
system to integrate into the Linux virtual file system and the Neon library to
connect to the WebDAV-server. It uses persistent caching to reduce
HTTP-traffic and response time.
It is written in C.
It allows applications without build-in WebDAV-support to edit
WebDAV-resources. Different from WebDAV-support in desktops like Gnome or KDE
a davfs2 file system is mounted into the system's file system using mount and
fstab and is accessible by any application.




==== Other Software Required: ====
Neon, LGPL v2, http://www.webdav.org/neon/
Linux kernel with fuse or coda



==== Other Comments: ====
The project is currently hosted at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dav/
I want to move to savannah.gnu.org for three reasons:
- to show my commitment to free software as promoted by FSF
- to have an environment for developing that is not changing that often and
has less fancy features
- once I have got time to write a texinfo manual I would like to make it a
GNU-project.
At the moment the project is in transition from GPL v2 to GPL v3. The next
release would be GPL v3 and I would like to release it on savannah.gnu.org.
