Bug#966273: RFA: fam -- File Alteration Monitor

[Chuan-kai Lin <cklin@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the fam package.

I can no longer invest sufficient time to maintain this package.
Upstream had disappeared a long time ago, and gamin is a better
maintained alternative.

The package description is:
 FAM monitors files and directories, notifying interested applications
 of changes.
 .
 This package provides a server that can monitor a given list of files
 and notify applications through a socket.  If the kernel supports
 dnotify (kernels >= 2.4.x) FAM is notified directly by the kernel.
 Otherwise it has to poll the files' status.  FAM can also provide an
 RPC service for monitoring remote files (such as on a mounted NFS
 filesystem).
