Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Indeed, gamin looks for the <linux/inotify.h> header, and provides a local
fallback. The local copy of the syscalls is always used.
Summary of the situation with the current patch:
* Udev, gamin, perl Linux::Inotify2 module, and inotify-tools compile and
work with the patch. Dovecot doesn't even compile with the --with-
notify=inotify flag.
* Udev, gamin, perl Linux::Inotify2 module, and inotify-tools compile
successfully and work just as well without the patch, and use inotify.
Dovecot doesn't even compile with the --with-notify=inotify flag.
So: the inotify-1 patch is not better then nothing. A better patch that
allows Dovecot to use inotify will be attached now.
