Bug 86636 – inotify-utils-0.21.ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Lars Strojny 2005-03-25 03:09:43 UTC]

Since gentoo-dev-sources provides the inotify-patch, it is sensible to include the inotify-utils in portage.

Sorry, bug in my thinking.

I feel like a spammer. But: now it's completely slottable.

What's about that, should I close it?

[Comment 5 Christian Gut 2006-05-14 14:12:05 UTC]

Are there any problems getting this into portage? As I can see, we don't have anything for inotify in portage, but vanilla-sources support them since 2.6.13.

Anyone interested in me testing the ebuild with the current version?

Unless I'm mistaken, inotify-utils isn't really that useful for most people - it only provides a simple test application. inotify-utils is not a requirement for other applications to use inotify.

[Comment 7 Wolfram Schlich (RETIRED) 2006-07-30 08:42:45 UTC]

We should include inotify-tools instead:

http://inotify-tools.sourceforge.net/

Will open a new bug for that...

See bug #142189

[Comment 9 Wolfram Schlich (RETIRED) 2006-07-30 09:29:39 UTC]

FYI, =sys-fs/inotify-tools-2.2 is in portage now (~x86).

[Comment 10 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2006-08-11 03:43:51 UTC]

Thanks Wolfram. I'm pretty sure that including inotify-utils as well as inotify-tools would be pretty redundant, if someone disagrees please reopen this bug and reassign to [e-mail]
