Description Luca Ferretti 2008-01-07 16:43:08 UTC 
The upcoming glib-2.16 will provide the new GIO API for VFS.

The new API will include stuff for file system monitoring[1]. 

I think could be useful if Tracker will use it (when offically released and stable), maybe allowing to dump all private file monitoring code in Tracker, but by now could be interesting check if the API is good for us or if it needs some changes/additions: I also think Alex Larsson will be happy to have feedback from API users before release the stable version :-)

Tracker is using now the new GIO API in glib to monitor the file system.
