Description Wolfgang Herget 2007-01-16 11:33:29 UTC

There is no ebuild for incron (http://incron.aiken.cz).

Incron is a daemon that executes programs when certain file system
operations take place (as offered by the kernel INOTIFY notification system),
much like time-based cron.

I have made an ebuild for this, maybe someone can improve on it
and commit it to the portage tree. (there still is a typo in the
init script, which was shamelessly ripped off gpm...)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

My version of an incron ebuild, please review (and have mercy on me, this is
one of the first ebuilds I've written).

You can perform check for kernel features in a much more clean way (example from nvidia-drivers):

inherit (...) linux-mod (...)

...

ebegin "Checking for MTRR support"
linux_chkconfig_present MTRR
eend $?

if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then
	...
	die "MTRR support not detected!"
fi

Comment 10 Ryan Reich 2007-07-14 19:17:16 UTC

Apropos of the previous entry where my bug was marked a duplicate of this one...fair enough, since we both submit ebuilds for incron, but I don't want it to be lost that my bug also concerns the cron setup, and so is strictly a superset of this one.  More accurately this should be the duplicate bug, not mine...
