Created attachment 54477 [details, diff] corrects inotify problem, updates to latest gamin from gnome cvs
Created attachment 54478 [details] new ebuild
gamin-0.0.26-r5 ebuild in portage does not work with inotify-0.21, but the ebuild from this bug report does. I don't know if it should be added to portage since it's cvs, but -r5 doesn't serve anything so it can be removed. What this ebuild does not fix is the bug of updating removable media presence in gnome: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74285 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171201
Actually this doesn't work so well, after one time or something it stops showing changes in nautilus in realtime, and I have to kill the gam_server
Please use "New -> Gentoo Linux -> Component: Ebuilds" in future. Infrastructure is not the correct addressee.
Don't want to apply a big evil patch like this, so I fixed the patch included in 0.0.26-r5 and bumped it to 0.0.26-r6.
Todor, where did you get the actual fixes that fixes it? It still appears broken in their cvs .. ?
Todor, basically making sure the patch is yours - want to get my facts straight for mailing upstream .... =)
dsd: well done! so far it works perfectly. The nautilus/media problem is also fixed? fuoco
yeah, the gnome cvs is still broken. i used the inotify-utils-0.21 source to figure out what the proper way of calling inotify is, so the patch that applies to gam_inotify.c has been slighly modified by me and is not the cvs version. the usb drive problem sounds like a HAL issue
Well, the volume-manager thing seems like its a gamin/inotify issue (cant remember exact details). Check bug #74285 for more on it.
Ok, patch should be upstream in a bit, thanks.
