is a reason for this or if factory should include it. If you are
right and fam isn't working at all this is all the more reason to use
gaming. I don't know if they can be installed at the same time or
not.

It looks like openSUSE currently ships fam. However, it looks like
KDE at least says gaming is better than fam, at the very least because
gaming doesn't require a system-wide daemon while fam does. Is there
another overriding reason why fam is used instead of gaming?
I am a bit puzzled by this message. AFAIK fam means File Alteration
Monitor and I fail to understand that a package called gaming has
anything to do with that. Besides I can't find a package gaming in the
oss or non-oss repositories.
The fam package in 12.1 is broken, it does not start at all. I need it to
run courier-imap and courier-imap-ssl, so 12.1 is not usable for me at
the moment. AFAIK fam is rather closely related to courier, so replacing
it with something else is probably not easy. So maybe I have to move to
something which replaces courier, Dovecot?
Sorry, it was a typo. I meant "gamin", which is a drop-in replacement
to fam, not "gaming".
However I can't find gamin in the oss or non-oss repositories, not even as a
file name.
