Package: rageircd Severity: normal Tags: upstream help rageircd can use a variety of io-engines. For this package, the relevant engines are epoll, which requires a 2.6 kernel but works fine, and rtsigio, which can run on a 2.4 kernel but sometimes behaves weirdly (see #333333).
Unfortunately, Debian still has to use rtsigio through the life of Debian etch (see #377697 and http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/07/msg00005.html). Since rageircd selects its io-engine at compile time, this prevents epoll from being used without a local re-build of the package (which is reasonably easy since infrastructure is present in the package). It would be much nicer if rageircd would try using epoll by default and automatically fall back to rtsigio on a 2.4 kernel. I would be most grateful if somebody would patch rageircd to do this check at run time.
