Re: The fam/gamin issue in sarge

I was curious, when I noticed gamin was not in sarge, what the deal is
with fam? My previous experiences was that fam stops the user from
unmounting automatically mounted removable media (available when pmount
is installed), and the solution I went for was to install gamin instead
of fam (also the choice Ubuntu made).
The version of fam currently in Unstable contains a fix for this issue,
and also lessens the dependency on portmap (so that portmap is not
uselessly pulled into a default Desktop installation). I mailed the
maintainer about asking for this to be pushed to Sarge, but didn't get a
reply. :(
