A CernVM-FS client implementation written in Rust. This project aims to provide a modern, secure, and performant alternative to the original C++ implementation.

Features

• Native Rust implementation of the CernVM-FS client.
• Improved performance and memory safety.
• FUSE integration for filesystem mounting.
• Support for compression and decompression.
• Cryptographic verification of repository content.
• SQLite-based catalog handling.

Prerequisites

• Rust 1.87.0 or higher.
• FUSE libraries for your operating system.
