Description Andrew Miller 2014-09-11 04:31:44 UTC

GNU Direvent is a daemon that monitors directories (using inotify) and reacts to file system events in them.

It's more lightweight than running a bash script in an infinite loop and using sys-fs/inotify-tools to monitor a directory. It also allows you to monitor a directory tree recursively, a feature which inotify-tools doesn't have.

I have written this ebuild with assistance from #gentoo-dev-help, I believe all the kinks have been worked out.

That's without the init.d script and so on.
