Hi people. Thunar Debian package is currently built against gamin, and depends on this package, to provide file monitoring. But gnome debian team decided to orphan this package [0], because gnome-vfs now has inotify support, so they don't need (on linux) another file monitoring tool.
On a blog post, benny said [1] that he recommended gamin over fam, and I (we) wanted to know what was its point, now. (and opinions from the list, too). We (debian team) currently have some choices: * do nothing, and hope somebody adopt gamin package or that it doesnt break * adopt gamin package and try to keep it working (it seems that it's not developped anymore upstream), at least for us (don't know the workload) * switch to fam (we don't really like this because benny recommended gamin and we don't really like the "system service" thing over the "user daemon" one I wanted to ask people about the gamin/fam preference currently. Do you have any thoughts ? :) Benny, do you have any plan to add inotify support to thunar-vfs at one time, or really don't want to include that (linux-specific) thing and want to keep it separate, using some third-party app ?
