I made a trivial fix to this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447072#c1 nautilus-share now works, just right click share and you are there the problem is that this package is broken since the F9 and it's an orphan package how can we manage to get it working a gain
You can volunteer to maintain it.
can it be in F10 or it's too late for that an I should hope that it would be in F11
It's too late to put it in the install image, but there's no reason we couldn't put it in the yum repo.
note: the fix is trivial which is to replace the directory name from -1.0 to -2.0 a second thing I want to request a feature for F11 that this package works with zero user configuration just installing this package, ie. to make the changes in the smb.conf to be default
The RPM philosophy is that installation and configuration should be separate activities. There are a few carefully reasoned exceptions we permit, but by and large, when packagers violate this policy, bad things happen. As a general rule, installing a GUI convenience package (or having it pulled in as a dependency) shouldn't mess with your Samba configuration.
If there's a way to make the default smb.conf enable nautilus-share when installed, and do no harm when not installed, that would be okay if you can somehow address the inherent security concerns. I doubt that's possible, so it would probably make more sense to have a configuration wizard.
