Hi all, There's been a new version of libevent in experimental for a while (2.0.*) and I'd like to upload it to unstable as soon as possible (and green-lighted by the release team). To achieve that I'd like to ask all maintainers of packages depending on libevent to test their packages against the new version and report any problems. I've taken the liberty of CC'ing maintainers whose packages had FTBFSs with the new version (tested in a clean experimental pbuilder; see below for details).
There's also a transition bug[0] open to keep track of the issues, so please CC it when appropriate. Only 7 from the 32 fail to build(tests performed a couple of weeks ago): beanstalkd: syntax error; maybe using some changed define? ladvd: builds correctly, fails on 1 of 6 tests ("HTTP request failed") forked-daapd: [already discussed with maintainer; next version will drop dependency] python-event: bona fide build failure (I couldn't grok the underlying reason just by looking at the log) memcached: ditto lua-event: ditto honeyd: doesn't seem related (configure: error: Couldn't figure out how to access libc; maybe related to multiarch) More details about what's changed in the 2.* series and might cause problems can be seen in the whatsnew-2.0.txt file in libevent-dev's docs.
