Bug ID: 466562
Summary: Remove support for FAM ( long dead project)
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kcoreaddons
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: task
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mp...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@marcdeop.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
While attempting to improve our packaging on Fedora, we noticed kcoreaddons
still has support for FAM in the CMakeLists.txt file.
This is a *LONG* dead project, same goes for it's alternatives (gamin and
others).
Perhaps it would be good to clean up the code.
I am talking about:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kcoreaddons/-/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L52
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Build kcoreaddons
OBSERVED RESULT
...
The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:
* FAM, File alteration notification support via a separate service,
<http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam>
Provides file alteration notification facilities using a separate service.
FAM provides additional support for NFS.
...
EXPECTED RESULT
Not "warning" due to missing FAM
