[Bug 291816] devel/glib20: Add back FAM_ALTBACKEND for Alternate file monitor backend

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291816

--- Comment #4 from Ivan Rozhuk <[email protected]> ---
(In reply to Gleb Popov from comment #3)
"fixed problems to me compared to an old kqueue-based implementation." same to
me with my FAM opposite "libinotify-kqueue" and "kqueue".


> does not pass glib's own test suite

I do not care tests, I do care real usability.
As I pointed many times: tests are not representative.

> accepted upstream

I had try to do same, but with no luck. I do not want waste additional time
anymore to "make it as series of small patches to existing kqueue backend".

> I think it is better to polish the inotify-kqueue one.

Let users to chose what is better.


> Maybe gnome@ people would like to look into problems you mentioned

Without async open() in my patch - probably native inotify@FBSD15 will work
worse in some use cases.
