inoticoming is a daemon to watch a directory with Linux's inotify framework and trigger actions once files with specific names are placed in there. For example it can be used to wait for .changes files uploaded into a directory and call reprepro to put them into your repository. For more information please have a look at its manpage. But it isn't only useful for deb repositories (i am using it for the PR team to handle Adobe .ai uploads and put it on the fileserver with the right permissons) one thing that is missing is instances support (no idea for dong it right with conf.d file) ? Reproducible: Always

Upstream appears to be gone. The package is still in Debian but several outstanding issues and hasn't seen an update since 2012. The main thing, however, is that one can achieve something similar using inotifywait from still-maintained sys-fs/inotify-tools.
