Only one such daemon can be running at a time, and +communicates with the kernel through the @file{/dev/cachefiles} character +device. + +This version modifies David Howells original cachefilesd---which appears +unmaintained---to use the @code{inotify} API instead of the deprecated +@code{dnotify} to monitor file changes.") + (license license:gpl2+))) + (define-public davfs2 (package (name "davfs2") |
