[gentoo-user] gamin

[Arnau Bria]

Hi,

This morning I noticed that gam_server was eating 80 90% of cpu...
I'm trying to find who installed gamin in my system, the dependency,
but I found nothing... ('equery depends gamin' shows nothing, with -a,
equery breaks)

I looked for (gam_Server) PID  and its PPID (1)...so I don't know
who is calling for its service...

I'm using kde 3.4 (upgrading to 3.5)

So, how may I know if gamin is required package? 
I have killed it and my system works pretty fine.


thanks in advance!

If you look at the ebuild 
('less /usr/portage/app-admin/gamin/gamin-0.1.7.ebuild'), you'll 
see that gamin provides the virtual fam.

  $ equery depends fam
  [ Searching for packages depending on fam... ]
  gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.12.2

But there are several other packages that depend on fam when the fam 
USE flag is set, among them kdelibs.

You can also do an 'emerge -pet world | less', and look under what 
package gamin sits.

It is used to observe whether files have changed.  Quite useful when 
you happen to pull out files from under Kate.  If you don't need it, 
drop the fam USE flag.

Yep, I visited its web!

In my case, I have no output at this command..

That's it! kdelibs! I can't figure why equery does not show it...

I've done it... I'll see what happen in future.

It appears to have been fixed in gentoolkit-0.2.2.  After a sync and 
an upgrade:

  $ equery depends fam
  [ Searching for packages depending on fam... ]
  gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.12.2
  kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.3-r1

But for you, when you've removed the fam flag, this should still 
output nothing, I suppose.

There's room for improvement,though:

  $equery depends gamin
  [ Searching for packages depending on gamin... ]

Equery should detect that gamin provides a virtual, and then check 
for the dependents of that.  Are you any good at Python?  :)

Without the USE flag:

lx-arnau ~ # equery depends fam
[ Searching for packages depending on fam... ]
kde-base/kdelibs-3.4.3-r1
kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.2-r6

(I must remove kde 3.4)

lx-arnau ~ # equery depends gamin
[ Searching for packages depending on gamin... ]

No, just a little perl and bash :-(
