Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system defined to be a subset of the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) system. This is a service provided by a library which allows to detect when a file or a directory has been modified. Whereas the FreeBSD port of FAM polls files every few seconds, this port includes a kqueue(2) backend for immediate notification of most alterations.

Configuration Options:
===> The following configuration options are available for gamin-0.1.10_10: GAM_POLLER=off: Use gamin's poller instead of kqueue's LIBINOTIFY=off: Use libinotify as the FAM backend RUN_AS_EUID=on: Drop privileges to effective user ===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Options name:
devel_gamin
USES:
gettext gnome libtool pathfix pkgconfig
pkg-message:
For install:
Gamin will only provide realtime notification of changes for at most n files, where n is the minimum value between (kern.maxfiles * 0.7) and (kern.maxfilesperproc - 200). Beyond that limit, files will be polled. If you often open several large folders with Nautilus, you might want to increase the kern.maxfiles tunable (you do not need to set kern.maxfilesperproc, since it is computed at boot time from kern.maxfiles). The behavior of gamin can be controlled via the various gaminrc files. See http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/config.html on how to create these files. In particular, if you find gam_server is taking up too much CPU time polling for changes, something like the following may help in one of the gaminrc files: # reduce polling frequency to once per 10 seconds # for UFS file systems in order to lower CPU load fsset ufs poll 10
