Hi Jeremy Weatherford, [...] Are you still interested in maintaining and
hosting the filetraq code?  [...]
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/filetraq/blob/master/debian/patches/01_filetraq.patch
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/filetraq/blob/master/debian/patches/02_filetraq.conf.patch
[...] If you're no longer interested in the filetraq code, and no new release
is expected from you anymore, I'd be interested in hearing that.  Thanks a lot
for sharing filetraq [...] Joost

Hi Joost, [...] Feel free to keep developing it or do anything you like with
the code - I haven't done anything with it in 18 years [...] Thanks, Jeremy


* lintian --pedantic

* call to find is ok?

* check manpage

* improve description: this is a toy; you'd want to use more modern tools
    these days. etckeeper, ( diffmon is a toy too, unmaintained upstream?) , ...
inotify based command line tools like
inotify-tools and iwatch and the more platform agnostic fswatch
