Hi Pino, given we are now in the bookworm cycle - do you think kcoreaddons could remove fam (or replace it with gamin if really needed)? Do you want a wider audience informed of the change, or would the change in kcoreaddons be self-contained enough? Thanks, Chris

In #981513, courier changed to use libgamin-dev, so kcoreaddons is now the *only* remaining package using FAM. As such, there is considerably more risk to doing nothing than there is to migrating to gamin. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510368 is over 12 years old. It's time t
