I've orphaned this package.  There are various
reasons for this:

(1) It's buggy: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugs/mtpfs

(2) Upstream is not responsive.  The weight of developer effort seems
to have moved to several alternative projects, and it's probably
worthwhile adopting one of these and deprecating mtpfs.

(3) I don't use it any more.  I just gave up trying to get files off
Android tablets.  WTF don't they support USB mass storage like every
other thing out there?


I don't use android much but at work they gave me a android tablet to test and I found that gMTP seems to work ok for copying files. Just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone was looking / interested in packaging one of the alternatives and in case that helps with getting your files off such devices. I didn't like mtpfs either and it did seem pretty buggy.
