Bug 233419 – New Ebuild: app-admin/inoticoming-0.2.1

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mario Fetka (geos_one) 2008-07-30 20:15:59 UTC]

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

- $FILESDIR needs to be quoted.

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.
