I don't think so, davej is the ultimate person to answer when this will hit us, but I expect it will be in Fedora Core 5, so ... > And if so, why is inotify so important? Because dnotify has an awful lot of shortcoming. inotify support is compiled in but it will fallback to dnotify if inotify not supported by teh kernel. This release also provide system wide configuration files and the ability to configure the behaviour on a per system type case instead of specific paths, i.e. it allows more generic rules. I will add default system configuration files in further versions of the package, at the moment best is to follow the documentation if you need special tuning: http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/config.html Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Desktop team http://redhat.com/ veillard@xxxxxxxxxx | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
