Blueprint changed by Dustin Kirkland: Whiteboard changed to:
I have spoken with Jon Bernard who has offered to implement this blueprint. Basically, I think we should: * create a separate binary package, update-motd-inotify, that provides an alternative update-motd implementation that uses inotify * this package might need to reside in universe, if it depends on other package(s) in universe (inoticoming?), and it might replace or conflict with the cron-based update-motd * it will need an initscript that implements start, stop, restart, and status of starting the daemon, watching the /var/run/update-motd directory for changes * it will need a small script that concatenates the data together for publication (see the implementation in the original update-motd script--we might want to extract that) :-Dustin -- Enhance update-motd to use inotify https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/update-motd-inotify -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
