Bug#303194: RFA: fam -- File Alteration Monitor

[Joerg Wendland <joergland@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the fam package.

The package description is:
 FAM monitors files and directories, notifying interested applications
 of changes.
 .
 This package provides a server that can monitor a given list of files
 and notify applications through a socket. If the kernel supports dnotify
 (kernels >= 2.4.x) FAM is notified directly by the kernel. Otherwise it has
 to poll the files' status. FAM can also provide a RPC service for monitoring
 remote files (such as on a mounted NFS filesystem).
