Thanks, committed with minor tweaks (see below)

Here the build fails with:

inotifytools.c: In function 'inotifytools_watch_recursively_with_exclude':
inotifytools.c:1312: error: storage size of 'my_stat' isn't known
inotifytools.c:1319: warning: implicit declaration of function 'lstat64'
inotifytools.c: In function 'isdir':
inotifytools.c:1598: error: storage size of 'my_stat' isn't known
make[5]: *** [inotifytools.lo] Error 1

So you need largefile support in the toolchain, and the package should
depend on BR2_LARGEFILE.

Thanks, see below for a few comments.

First of all, are you aware of busybox's inotifyd? From a quick look it
seems to do more-or-less the same as these.

You're missing a space - Help text should be indented with
<tab><space><space>. You also have a trailing space at the end of each
of the help lines.

Please keep help lines <70 chars so they display ok in menuconfig in a
normal 80x24 window - Perhaps skip the extra indentation for these 2
lines?

Please also add an upstream URL here.

INSTALL_TARGET is default, so you can drop that - same for _SOURCE as
well.

Otherwise it looks good, thanks. Care to fix and resend?

Peter,

Thanks for taking the time to review this so quickly.

I was not (I did the lazy thing and searched through the buildroot
package menus only). However, it doesn't mention automatically
monitoring subdirectories that are created, which I need, so these
tools appear to still be necessary.


> Otherwise it looks good, thanks. Care to fix and resend?

Sure, I'll try to get it done ASAP.

Thanks,
Mike
