> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Till Toenshoff

> Priority: Minor
>
> {{libevent}} is a combination of {{libevent_core}} and {{libevent_extra}}.
> Mesos/libprocess does not make use of any {{libevent_extra}} functionality
> and additionally it 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.
