I'm aware. I'm also aware that including the dnotify patch will make it more difficult for non-linux (Hurd, BSD). I personally want to include it, since that's how I use it and feel that it is best used this way. So I have 2 questions really. 1. I know people have created methods of including patches, anyone have a good suggestion of how to quickly steal one of these methods to auto-patch when grabbing the source to compile a local .deb? 2. Should I alienate those that are Hurd-ers, BSD-ers and even our own non-linux-2.4-kernel users and include the patch? I personally don't really care all that much about the Hurd-ers, BSD-ers but that might not be in the best interest of the Debian Project, so I shall digress. I will be the maintainer, but I'd like to hear what others would suggest I do to best accomodate the non-linux(-2.4-kernel) people out there. -James Moss On Monday, 26 November 2001, at 17:17:49 (-0500), Sean Middleditch wrote: > NO kernel patch is required, it is simply more efficient with one. > Also, there is a patch for fam to use dnotify (no clue if James will > include that) which means it will make use of kernel functionality in > 2.4.x kernels. > > fam with no kernel support is still better than no fam at all. > > Sean Etc. > > On Mon, 2001-11-26 at 15:29, Shaya Potter wrote: > > doesn't this require a kernel patch, and is basically useless w/o the > > kernel patch?
