Bugzilla Bug 92573

This requires inotify 0.23-6 which is not available in portage yet, so if its
added to portage, it needs to be in package.mask.

gentoo-sources-2.6.12 will include inotify 0.23-7 or whatever the newest one is
at time of release.

Nothing needed changing except the info messages

gamin-0.1.0.ebuild (noinotify USE flag)

Optional (although heavily encouraged) inotify usage. I got it imported to
gentopia yesterday.

(From update of attachment 58948 [details])
Never mind. joem didn't like the idea of configurable inotify support.

The actual fix

Created an attachment (id=59663) [details]
gamin-0.1.0-cvs-upgrade.patch

includes two CVS fixes since the release of 0.1.0

* server/gam_poll.c: (unregister_node), factorize code and make sure node are
unregistered correctly. Fix crash from bug #303932.
* libgamin/gam_data.c: (gamin_data_conn_event): Fix req->state vs req->type
thinko.

Is this going to go into the gentopia overlay as well?

Dan, any chance we can give ya commit access or anything? And you toss them in
there? It will give you a larger test base.

Dan, to Gentopia that is.

Added ebuild to Gentopia overlay as gamin-0.1.0-r1.ebuild with both patches applied.

fam is not going to work fine on Gentoo/FreeBSD, I'll submit a patch to this 
ebuild and a patch to gamin sourced (cumulative of ports patches) as gamin is 
probably the best way to go for us.

gamin-0.1.0-r1.patch

(svn) patch over gamin-0.1.0-r1 ebuild, which adds G/FreeBSD support.

Created an attachment (id=59899) [details]
gamin-0.1.0-freebsd.patch

Patch with all the FreeBSD changes. Works fine on Linux (and probably
Gentoo/kFreeBSD), too.

gamin-0.1.1 is out, but it doesn't look like kernel 2.6.12 has inotify ?

Correct. inotify has never been in the upstream kernel.

gentoo-sources-2.6.12 is out with inotify 0.23-12. So gamin-0.1.0 can now be in
portage in ~x86

I'm not sure if it works for you Claessens, however, here, I have
gentoo-sources-2.6.12, and gamin-0.1.0-r1 (and even tried gamin CVS) and I am
back to the problem that I had before with mm-sources, in which, gamin no longer
notifies/reads my usb disk insertion/pmount no longer automounts the disk.

steev@mebius ~ $ pmount-hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1C98_52D7
Error: device /dev/sda1 is not removable

Is what I get (and got with mm-sources, but due to mm-sources nature, I didn't
file a bug, simply bumped down to 2.6.11-r11, which worked fine once I applied
the proper patch for inotify to the kernel)  It seems like the new inotify patch
in gentoo-sources SHOULD work, but apparently, something is missing somewhere. 
Watching both gamin and pmount closely to see.

I think you are running into a HAL bug which is fixed in hal 0.5. Either way,
it's certainly not related to gamin.

works for me yes ! just tried gamin-0.1.0.ebuild and
gamin-0.1.0-flow-control.patch.

i've sys-apps/hal-0.4.8 and usb key are correctly monted and the icon appeare
on
the gnome desktop witch was buggy with preview versions of kernel/gamin.

gamin-0.1.1 is now included in the tree
