Comment 31 for bug 208480

Sean,

- that's not a true statement, read the previous comments, the tool is just not working and that's no a favor to do to those users. The ubuntu team also works daily on IRC with people from derivatives distributions and we got no request for them to revert this change

- right, nautilus-share is not a reply to every usecase, again as mentionned before shares-admin was not replying to what is expected from the default tools, it's written in perl and not easy to maintain and upstream decided to work on other projects now which means the distribution team would have to work on a code that nobody in the team really knows

- nfs is not something trivial to set up and not something that fit desktop users needs, the tool was really limited to do nfs configurations and system administrators not likely use this one to do their configuration. Advertising nfs for user sharing is not a good idea, you should rather install gnome-user-share which doesn't bluetooth sharing and webdav sharing using apache and advertize services over avahi so thy are automatically listed in nautilus on other local computers
