when I configure tracker trunk code on solaris,

It detects some kernel features, such as inotify
which is to monito file system change,

It will also detect FAM/GAMIN as well (make sure you have the headers
for these installed so it can detect them)


but I want to know that solaris doesnot support inotify,
how it will impact tracker's features on solaris?

real time updates and detection of file moves will be affected. Does
solaris provide any kernel notification of file changes?

If so we would accept patches for it




btw: I have no linux box at hand, I want to know
when configure tracker on linux, what are the values for
file monitor backend to be used?

1) Inotify
2) GAMIN
3) FAM
4) POLLING (also used if any of the above fail like EG on NFS)

jamie.
