Hi,

I have been trying to use the flickfs library(1) to mount my flickr
photostream for local editing/backup with limited success. My guess is
it's fallen behind where FUSE is these days.

The most recent version is more than 3 years old and perhaps the FUSE
development space is too volatile for it to still work.

I expect this would be a useful port for FreeBSD users as it gets rid
of web page-based management and allows more control over one's work.
Would you or anyone who understands FUSE be interested in getting this
to work? Here's where I have gotten it so far:

o I get authentication to work (uses the standard Flickr token passing).
o FUSE takes the mount point and attaches the flickr stream to it
and I get lots of helpful log messages.
o But the mount point itself is inaccessible.

/dev/fuse0 2.0G 0B 2.0G 0% /mnt/flickr

[/home/paul]:: file /mnt/flickr
/mnt/flickr: cannot open `/mnt/flickr' (Invalid argument)

And umounting gives me back the directory:

I think there is a focus to replace it with puffs/refuse port[1] from NetBSD
