Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the fam package.
I can no longer invest sufficient time to maintain this package. Upstream had disappeared a long time ago, and gamin is a better maintained alternative. 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 an RPC service for monitoring remote files (such as on a mounted NFS filesystem).
