Package: libev-dev Version: 2.01-1 Severity: important
libev provides a drop-in replacement for libevent programs, using the same event.h header file as libevent to compile. I think the best package scheme is to provide 2 -dev packages: libev-dev that comes without event.h (for people that only wants to compile programs using the own libev API) and which don't conflict with libevent-dev, and something like libev-libevent-dev, that only have the missing event.h header and depends on libev-dev and conflicts with libevent-dev. This way I can install libev-dev without worring about the presence of libevent-dev (I just want to use the new libev API) and other uses which want to use the libev as a drop-in replacement to libevent, can install libev-libevent-dev, so they don't have to change the source code of the programs to compile them with libev instead of libevent. With the current scheme, one have to modify the program sources (s/event.h/ev-event.h/) to make it work. Even libev author think the scheme I'm proposing is the best. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (75, 'testing'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.1 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=es_AR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libev-dev depends on: ii libev2 2.01-1 high-performance event loop librar libev-dev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
