Actually, neither 0.1.6 (which was current when I first tried) nor 0.1.7 worked. > Yes, and most of the patches that some FreeBSD folk did some time ago > for version 0.1.5 were in fact included upstream.

I presume these are the patches to which you're referring? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/gamin/files/ > Well, then. > Me and Alessandro are willing to manage the package, as we need it at > work anyway, and having it available thru setup.exe certainly eases things. > (well of course if you insist to package it yourself, we won't complain ^_^) Now that I have an existing patchset, then it's a different story entirely. This does affect me as well, so let me see what I can do. I'm building 0.1.5 with these patches now. > a. we do not need latest version (which seems to be quite changed) > enough to justify devoting the necessary resources to make it working, > or at least not soon Agreed, considering the circumstances. > b. we would produce a non-threaded library (see "Java and Cygwin: a > difficult relation", a few minutes ago on cygwin@): does gnome-vfs2 or > Gnome in general need the threaded library or not? Not AFAIK. In fact, gnome-vfs2 just looks for fam.h and libfam, which could be provided by either FAM or Gamin; I don't think it actually affects the gamin API either way, just the functionality. > is there a way to produce two different but non clashing packages, > in case of need? No, but it shouldn't be necessary.
