ZFS Timeslider in Nautilus

[Lars Engels]

Hey guys,

the Opensolaris people have a nice plugin for Nautilus that can access  
ZFS snapshots and display changes to the current state of the  
filesystem with a slider.

Would it be possible to integrate the patches into our Nautilus, too?
Details are here:  http://blogs.sun.com/erwann/entry/zfs_on_the_desktop_zfs

At the bottom you find this:

The zfs automatic snapshots hg repository can be found here [1]. Its  
spec-file can be found here. [2]
The time slider repository can be found here[3]. Its spec-file there[4].
The nautilus visualization patch for nautilus can be found here[5].

[5]  
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/jds/spec-files/branches/gnome-2-24/patches/nautilus-13-zfs-snapshot.diff

They have a automatic snapshot service. At the moment we have  
sysutils/zfs-snapshot-mgmt which is a ruby script and sysutils/zfsnap,  
an sh(1) based solution via cron.

Does anyone like to port the slider-plugin?

Cheers
Lars
