That's fine.

Fully.

For me you (fuse-s3fs) already have the green light.
I am not a mentor or sponsor or something like that. I am not confident with the
Fedora project in making approval package.
If you need someone to approuve your package and if it can please you that I
endorse this role, tell me and point me to some documentations to get the
process go ahead.

But be aware I am not a GNU/Linux developer.
Just an enthusiastic and happy Fedora's user. Currently I am mostly programming
for Windows :-(


Let me strongly suggest you to have a x.y.z pattern for the version number.
For the current fuse-s3fs this means fuse-s3fs-0.4.0-1.f8.noarch.rpm (and
fuse-s3fs-0.4.0.tar.gz for the upstream package). Keep the "version 0.4" in the
documentation. So you can update the upstream version (for minor bugs, etc which
will take place in 0.4.x) without touching the documentation. This just costs 2
chars ".0".

With x.y.z version number you can have :
- x : minor improvement, bug fix, ...
- y : major evolution, command line option change, ...
- z : format change, migration path needed.


I just check fuse-s3fs-0.4-6.
- default=$HOME/.fuse-s3fs-cache/

Perhaps not a gread idea :-)

New proposal :
- default system config : /etc/fuse-s3fs
- default system cache : /etc/fuse-s3fs/cache   (will be a symlink to
/var/cache/fuse-s3fs)
- default user config : $HOME/.fuse-s3fs
- default user cache : $HOME/.fuse-s3fs/cache

NB: default system cache is only for the root user (typically for mount at boot
time).
This permit in futur release to have a defaut config file :
$HOME/.fuse-s3fs/config .
Or a file for secret access key : $HOME/.fuse-s3fs/secret (mode 0700 only) .
