That said that should not block us from pushing a release to get feedback. The main problem anyway will be to have an inotify recent kernel. Fedora doesn't, Mandrake still use the old kernel API, so this will have limited scope. We can still discuss the poll/no poll added support and mechanisms independantly. I will try to make a release over the week-end Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Desktop team http://redhat.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ _______________________________________________ Gamin-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gamin-list
