clarification needed: Darwin-MacFuse

[ThomasWaldmann]

The source sets _system = 'Darwin-MacFuse' under some conditions.

But on my mac (which has macFUSE aka osxfuse installed), _system is 'Darwin' (not 'Darwin-MacFuse').

I suspect there is some name confusion and there was also another, different "MacFuse" implementation.

The source should be clarified in that respect, because e.g. the struct definitions depend on _system.

[ThomasWaldmann]

Also wondering whether that "other MacFuse" is still relevant? Have seen "legacy" comments in the source.

So guess we could just remove the 'Darwin-MacFuse' stuff from the code, long dead.

Currently, I can test on macOS 15.7 (Apple Silicon) and macOS 26.2 (Intel) to make sure the tests work on macFUSE (aka osxfuse).

On Github, we can't really run most tests as macFUSE needs to install a kernel extension.

Yeah, FUSE on macOS is a pain. I think it worked a few years ago on GitHub Actions, but not anymore. I don't have such a system, so I can only trust you.

[ThomasWaldmann]

OK, I'll try to remove Darwin-MacFuse after next mfusepy release.

[ThomasWaldmann]

Done, see #21.

#21 is not merged yet.
