I think that would be a sane approach, it does not seem like there is any obvious fix to this for now. You should exclude ppc64 too, and possibly ask ftp-masters to remove these binaries? > My own expertise in the kernel details of inotify is limited, but I > don't see anything in the code of that package that ought to make it > particularly unfriendly to these other architectures, so I'm not sure > what other options we have. :( Yeah, same here. I looked at the code, and tried to find any bug reports wrt inotify and these arches, but could not find anything... For the time being, I have modified prometheus to not use fsnotify at all in these three architectures, so it would not be affected if you remove fsnotify. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho)
