Issues with SUNWgamin port and KDirWatch

[Moinak Ghosh-3]

Hi Folks,

   Please check this post for an issue I faced while getting KDE 4
to work properly on BeleniX:
http://moinakg.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/lost-on-the-dee-bus/

Since KDE is delivered as an integrated part of BeleniX I use all the
packages already part of the distro. This includes JDS packages
adapted and modified to suit both Gnome and KDE - wherever there
are common dependencies like DBUS etc.

Now JDS delivers a Gamin port that uses File Event Notification on
Solaris and I found issues while using that with KDE4. I think
KDirWatch can be improved by handling subscriptions in new threads
and having one dedicate thread for handling notification events. The
current approach seems broken to me.

Regards,
Moinak.

Hi Moinak,
interesting. Once I get out from the stdcxx4 migration hell I'll have
a look at it.
In the meantime - have you tried to contact upstream? Even if they
would not accept the idea, they could come up with other
possibilities.
best regards

P.

   I have not yet found time to contact upstream. Will do that later.
