[request] inotify enabled kernel

Hi,
I've been trying to get beagle to run for a while now, and it requires an inotify enabled kernel.  I've tried myself to make a PKGBUILD that will patch the kernel, but have had no success yet  .  If anybody has a package or PKGBUILD for an kernel with inotify support, I would be forever grateful.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: [request] inotify enabled kernel

Just add the inotify patch next to the other patches (acpi and so on) int the genuine Arch kernel PKGBUILD (/var/abs/kernels/kernel26). Or you could use dibble's PKGBUILD posted somewhere in the wiki and add whole patchset, like morph (please note that the newest inotify has changed its API a bit and could not work with beagle yet - as indicated on morph's homepage).

Re: [request] inotify enabled kernel

Hey, thanks for the help.  Turns out that in my attempt to compile the package i had made a typographical error (-Np0 instead of -Np1).  After this change was made I had no problems.  Sorry for the waste of your time .  Anyway hopefully i will be beagling soon .

Re: [request] inotify enabled kernel

indeed beagle is my package in the AUR, it's a little too alpha for my taste right now, but it's getting alot better since the last time I tried it, maybe 4 versions ago.
Maybe it would be better if I tried to add the different file format plugins, opinions?

Re: [request] inotify enabled kernel

I added a couple myself once I got beagle itself running, but I think that would help a lot.  It certainly would add a lot in terms of out of the box functioning.

Re: [request] inotify enabled kernel

Thing is, everything is still in cvs... I'm much more apt to actually USE packages when they've got at least a release, and not an alpha one. I suppose I could just put them up.

Re: [request] inotify enabled kernel

Well I think that beagle is definitely usable now, and certainly would be more so with the added extensions... the only one i have working is Firefox, and that doesn't really count (no hard work involved there )  I would definitly gain from the addition of some of the plugins.

On a side note... is there a plugin to gain .pdf functionality?  There didn't seem to be one and yet beagle hasn't searched through pdf's for me at all?
