Hi Diwaker I would really like to keep capability to build and use Thrift without lot of extra versions of libraries. Standard distributions like Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu use 1.4.13 ... and we have CI running on Ubuntu.
However there are some good reasons as mentioned. I still have some questions: Is libevent 2.0.x not backward compatible? Can users take libevent 2.0.x with the current code? Does the bufferevents usage require lot of code changes? Detect with configure script and use that or the other libevent api ? -Roger > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Diwaker Gupta [mailto:[email protected]] > Gesendet: Montag, 27.
