Comment 3 for bug 29263

Upstream won't be fixing GnomeVFS (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328107#c16).

The bug can be left valid by changing it, properly, to refer to gvfs or perhaps just Nautilus. That is the logical request: support for NFS in Gnome, without care for the underlying library (gnomevfs vs gvfs).

What we want is for Avahi published NFS mounts, e.g.,

<service-group>
  <name replace-wildcards="yes">Home Directories</name>
  <service>
    <type>_nfs._tcp</type>
    <port>2049</port>
    <txt-record>path=/home</txt-record>
  </service>
</service-group>

which results in a client system being able to see:

= eth0 IPv4 Home Directories Network File System local
   hostname = [amitower.local]
   address = [192.168.1.6]
   port = [2049]
   txt = ["path=/home"]

Yes, I have left out /etc/exports, as it isn't germaine to zeroconf -- the point of Bug #65048, which has been marked as a duplicate of this bug, The point is that we want Gnome to show us those (removable) media when they are available, and allow them to be mounted.
