Fuse-2.5.3 for Ubuntu Dapper

Fuse (Filesytem in Userspace) allow programmers to implement a fully functionnal filesystem in userspace. This way, user can mount a remote filesystem shared through SSH, mount an audio CD through libparanoia...

In its testing release, Debian uses fuse-2.5.3. I synched it to Ubuntu Dapper.

The last fuse deb I shared was fuse-2.4.2. Among the changes brought to fuse-2.5.3 we can highlight many bug fixes and a better support for /etc/fstab making use of /sbin/mount.fuse .
Installing fuse-2.5.3 on Dapper is fairly easy, you simply need to add Debuntu debian packages repository and apt-get update, apt-get install fuse-utils.

If you do not know how to add a repository to your source list, refer to Debuntu debian packages repository and follow the instructions.

The repository only has 386 binary packages so if you want to compile the current fuse for x86_64, you'll need to do so from the source. Which looks something like this:

mkdir fuse; cd fuse
apt-get source fuse -b
dpkg -i *.deb

After that you should be able to even install the new ntfs-3g driver that hopefully will do a better job reading/writting then some of the others.
