I searched for a fuse solution for ftp/gmail today and noticed that we
have four fuse files systems with fuse- prefix in Fedora:
$ yum list fuse-*

fuse-convmvfs.i386 0.2.3-2.fc7
fuse-encfs.i386 1.3.1-3.fc6
fuse-smb.i386 0.8.5-5.fc7
fuse-sshfs.i386 1.7-2.fc6

And at least two without:
$ yum list ntfs-3g curlftpfs

curlftpfs.i386 0.9-3.fc7
ntfs-3g.i386 2:1.0-1.fc7

Do we care about that mismatch? Should we rename the two latter in the
long term just to be consistent? I tend to say "yes", so users that
search like I did (yum list fuse-*) don't get taken into the wrong
direction.
Yes, it's just a small detail, but having some package with prefix and
some without is IMHO just confusing.
Some time back there was the opposite request to remove the prefix,
supposedly even uttered by upstream.
The real "just make it work" solution might be use the prefix and also
provide the prefix-less name , and teach "yum list" and other utils to
list the provides, too. (just a thought that came up, not sure if this
really is a good idea...)
Personally I'd prefer it to keep the prefix. Imagine fuse-ext2 w/o the
prefix :)
Hehe, agreed :-)
