I'm afraid you can only hope that another team (perhaps KDE) has some
use of gamin and wishes to maintain it.
Is FAM (or some new thing) preferred over gamin? What do GNOME apps use
to get notifications about filesystem changes? I'd like to migrate my
application to a better technology if there is one.
The best is to use directly the GnomeVFS API. Unfortunately it isn't
documented, but here is how it looks like:
typedef enum {
GNOME_VFS_MONITOR_FILE,
GNOME_VFS_MONITOR_DIRECTORY
} GnomeVFSMonitorType;
typedef void (* GnomeVFSMonitorCallback) (GnomeVFSMonitorHandle *handle,
const gchar *monitor_uri,
const gchar *info_uri,
GnomeVFSMonitorEventType event_type,
gpointer user_data);
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_monitor_add (GnomeVFSMonitorHandle **handle,
const gchar *text_uri,
GnomeVFSMonitorType monitor_type,
GnomeVFSMonitorCallback callback,
gpointer user_data);
GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_monitor_cancel (GnomeVFSMonitorHandle *handle);
It is straightforward and uses the best available underlying method. On
Linux, it uses inotify and falls back to FAM for remote mounts.

I'd like to migrate my application to a better technology if there is one. Either FAM or inotify support via GnomeVFS or directly inotify. I think glib gained a minimalistic file or directory watch function (a simple periodic stat() IIRC). FAM has design limitations which might be perceived as bugs, but is relatively clean. inotify is the most effective, but limits portability. -- Loïc Minier [EMAIL PROTECTED]
