Description B. Keroack 2005-03-28 11:12:30 UTC

Inotify support in current gamin ebuilds is broken, especially for GNOME users.

(see bugs: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74285 , http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86705 )

Gamin using dnotify and polling backends works suitably for now until the bugs in inotify are worked out. We need to add a local USE flag for gamin allowing the optional inclusion/exclusion of inotify support. Default should be off.

Attached is a patched gamin-0.0.26-r5 ebuild.

I think this bug should be closed, because there is no more 0.0.* gamin in portage.

Comment 3 B. Keroack 2005-08-18 15:51:40 UTC

Agreed. Bug is now obsolete.
