There's little hope that it gets maintained because it contains a C extension whereas alternatives often use ctypes. In particular, it has no support for Python 3, and this is a blocker for us. At the beginning, [I though we were switching to pyinotify](0bb405fc): it is quite popular, and even used by fail2ban, but the code is ugly (big, crazy API, limited, and probably slow).

I didn't really know inotify and it's disappointing to see that created files (CREATE+WRITE+CLOSE_WRITE) can't be distinguished from hard links (CREATE). Acting upon new inodes is a common scenario and in the first case, you want to wait CLOSE_WRITE or you would read a partially written file. What I mean is that inotify is often unreliable, unless you detect changes done by your own software (e.g. you can make sure that files aren't hard-linked) but then some other IPC is probably simpler.

In any case, I open this MR because I haven't tested it. I only checked with pylint (hence the second commit).

inotifyx does not support Python 3.

It was reverted in commit 9c672830
but it is still required to bootstrap from old SlapOS setups.

Replace dropbear by openssh.
Use same rdiff-backup than provided by PBS.
Allow to directly use an IPV6 address with a custom port.

Add binding to a specific ip. 
Add error log.

Solve the problem that `slapos` script is missing from slaprunner ( described in !253 ) by adding `slapos.core` egg explicitly.

Thanks to nexedi/slapos!158 , in a slaprunner we can use slapos command:
```
$ slapos supply https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos/raw/1.0.19/software/erp5/software.cfg slaprunner
```
works fine to supply a software to "current" webrunner, but building this software with `slapos node software` fails with:
```
$ slapos node software

    with open(pidfile, 'w') as fout:
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/slapos/slapgrid-sr.pid'
```

because slaprunner's web interface also runs software, it's better both `slapos node software` command and the one from slaprunner web interface uses the same pid file so that they do not run in parallel.

This depends on nexedi/slapos.core!29

Since using apache-2.4[1] the Include directive will fail if no glob
matches, this switch to new, IncludeOptional[2], available since 2.4, in
order to not fail if no configurations are present.

On some machines, net:TestDialTimeout never passes and today, Go 1.4 is only
used for bootstrapping, so let's not be more clever than Go devs, who
explicitly state to use make.bash

  id-store-interval is mandatory now.
