Package: wnpp Severity: normal
iWatch is a realtime filesystem monitoring program. It's a simple perl script to monitor changes in specific directories/files and send email notification immediately. It reads the dir/file list from xml config file and needs inotify support in kernel (Linux Kernel >= 2.6.13). I don't have any real use for iwatch any longer and therefore don't want to maintain the package anymore. Please notice that I didn't manage to reach upstream for quite some while: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=581261#12 and the latest upstream release dates back to 2009. So if someone decides to take over the package he/she should consider taking it over as upstream as well. iwatch is written in Perl (~500 lines) and we've the following open bugs: • #581261 iwatch: not all listed event types to alert on actually do anything...eg modify, attrib etc • #669291 iwatch: simply misses events • #494397 iwatch: New subdirectories in recursive mode won't be recognized • #608843 iwatch: Trouble with utf8 characters in filenames (+ 2 possible fixes) • #611996 iwatch: Strange problem with network notify If no one decides to take over iwatch by end of November I'll file a request for removal. regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
