Over 0.1.6, 0.1.7 includes fixes for a double-free case, a segfault, and a memory leak. Once this goes stable we'll also be making gamin the default provider of virtual/fam and adjusting the relevant docs to reflect this. gamin is much nicer as it doesn't require a daemon, has a superior architecture, and uses inotify when available for real accuracy in file change notifications.
x86 marked stable.
amd64 stable
Tested on ppc. Builds and installs ok. Output from some of the tests seem to indicate errors. These don't seem critical enough to fail to install gamin though, so maybe it's nothing.

Tested on sparc platform (E450 running kernel 2.6.15, gcc 3.4.4 and Gnome 2.12.2).
0.1.7 seems to work well enough on sparc with the new stuff to deserve a ~sparc keyword. We'll review candidate stable status in the future after the 30 day window and a few additional testers from the sparc dev team.
Thats a good point - we should make sure all arches are keyworded where fam was before making this "global" change. mips/ppc64 : this means you should keyword gamin as testing, and then 30 days after, as stable.
added ~ppc64
Hansmi has already marked this ppc stable, thanks for testing nixnut.
Missed an arch. alpha: please mark gamin as testing, and then at a sufficient time later, stable.
sparc stable.
Today, agriffis marked gamin as ~alpha. We'll wait some time before marking it stable. Leave alpha cc'ed to remember this.
mips, ppc64: Please mark gamin-0.1.7 stable
stable on ppc64
MIPS is done. alpha: You are the last arch, and I think it has been in testing long enough (4 weeks). Can you mark this stable now please?
alpha: prod :)
Done, sorry for the delay.
all done
