Severity: grave Package: libevent Version: 1.4.13-stable-1 Hi,
I recently took some time to investigate #560550 and noticed that an undocumented and uncommunicated change in libevent broke dnsproxy. Factual the library removed symbols which are used by other applications when the library is used as documented. It at least hits event_gotsig and event_sigcb. This change is not documented, the manpage event(3) even furthermore suggests the use of this symbols. I know that a alpha version talks about deprecation of these symbols, but this can not happen without communicating this PRIOR the deprecation. So now I'm unsure how to go on. Its not documented how to change the behaviour of a depending program (atleast I haven't found such documentation), nor is the current documentation accurate, nor is the change at all documented (ChangeLog), nor was I as a maintainer of a dependent package beeing informed. I would appreciate if you could work torwards: - updating the documentation - clarifying if that change is really intended - clarifying what needs to get changed in order to build again Thanks and best Regards, Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
