Description David Auer 2023-05-11 23:38:11 UTC

It is of course no drop in replacement but I think users should be made aware that curlftpfs has been abandoned for a really long time. `rclone` is a modern alternative with the capability to mount ftp shares, and much more. Unfortunately it is not easy to find this alternative if you don't know what you are looking for.

Not sure whether there is a good way to communicate such information through the package but at least I wanted to create this bug in case someone is looking here in bugzilla ;)

Reproducible: Always
