-------------------------------------

             Summary: Linking libevent should be avoided.
                 Key: MESOS-9222
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-9222
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Till Toenshoff


{{libevent}} is a combination of {{libevent_core}} and {{libevent_extra}}. 
Mesos/libprocess does not make use of any {{libevent_extra}} functionality and 
additionally appears that its use is against best practices.

>From http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/Ref0_meta.html:
{noformat}
libevent
This library exists for historical reasons; it contains the contents of both 
libevent_core and libevent_extra. You shouldn’t use it; it may go away in a 
future version of Libevent.
{noformat}

We should adapt our linkage accordingly.
