Hi all I'm quite keen to see gamin comply with its (or at least, FAM's) stated policy of not following links. Thanks to some recent effort by John McC, the inotify backend is close to meeting that standard. The dnotify backend seems to be further away. Can't comment on the others.
To facilitate this, seems to me that a couple of test-cases, dealing with directory-links and non-directory-links, would help. I have candidates, and a patch for testing.c to allow it to do linking. Does this list have a policy on mailing attachments ? I figure that directory-monitoring an existing link to a dir should report the same as attempting to monitor a non-existent dir. OK? And completely ignore any newly-created link that would, if not a link, be monitored as a dir. OK ? And otherwise treat links as files in their own right, without reference to their respective targets (if any).
