It would be great if Robert Love's Inotify device could be added to the FC Devel kernel. I see you guys are adding some stuff that will soon be accepted and this is another one of those things. The place to download the patches are: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/inotify/v2.6/ This device is used very heavily for things like Beagle and it would be great to not have to re-compile kernels, especially with the frequency of kernels coming out in the development branch.
we cant add anything that adds a new API until it's got acceptance upstream. inotify is now in -mm I believe, so it's possible it'll get merged soon, but until then, we can't the risk.
