Ok, sorry for my mistake, its old and forgot some things.But still, there must be warns added somewhere to clearly state that next version will drop support. In my vision, once a functionnality is added, you must maintain it, or clearly tell its dropped, and even give solutions, no ?

Here we officially dropped all the debian4 during summer, so im not embarrassed, by maybe others could be. Is it really necessary to remove these ? Shouldnt warnings be added somewhere to warn people that theres a required min kernel version to be able to use it ?it's not kernel, it's libc. we don't support such an old libc. Actually since debian4 doesn't update anything, keep with efl branch 1.7 that will still support that. we're not even sure when 1.8 will be released, so far it's unreleased/future code. PS: if you really want to have it, you can create a debian package backport-sys-inotify with: /usr/include/sys/inotify.h: #include <linux/inotify.h> static inline int inotify_init(void) { return syscall(__NR_inotify_init); } static inline int inotify_add_watch(int fd, const char *name, __u32 mask) { return syscall(__NR_inotify_add_watch, fd, name, mask); } static inline int inotify_rm_watch(int fd, __u32 wd) { return syscall(__NR_inotify_rm_watch, fd, wd); } Another option is to backport the inotify support to debian4 libc's. Both are better and useful outside of just EFL.
