pyinotify is in meta-python.
The only option currently in oe-core is to use C,
which is the standard way to use inotify.
inotify-tools can be useful, but I don't see the rationale
why it should move from meta-oe to oe-core.
Trevor,
I thought the motivation for moving inotify-tools to oe-core
was:
a) It's a nice cmdline utility
b) coreutils ptests needs it.
I think I've mislead you into believing b) since
inotify-tools provides:
/usr/bin/inotifywait
/usr/bin/inotifywatch
and I don't see any mention of that in the coreutils/tests directory
or in fact in coreutils.git at all:
$ cd .../coreutils.git
$ grep -r inotifywa * -> NULL
So we need to figure out what the failing coreutils ptests that
involve inotify really need since it seems that it's not inotify-tools.
