Hi,while updating packaging for Courier in Debian, I realized that FAM has been requested for removal [0], which I fully expect to happen for the next stable release. I'll change the dependencies to gamin.However, at the moment, gamin is is limbo as well and currently marked for autoremoval. I very much hope this will somehow resolve in time for the stable release. But note that gamin is not aging very well and I can imagine it eventually getting abandoned as well. In the worst case rather sooner than later.Would it be feasible to add support for inotify in courier-imap? That seems to be the state-of-the-art alternative. I'm open to other options, but mainly want to bring this up for discussion.
I wrote some code the other day that replaced FAM with inotify, and I need to finish it. This was the main reason for the release two weeks ago, to clear out all the stuff that's accumulated so the inotify code can be put out. So, this is coming.
