Re: [HEADS-UP] libevent 2.1.12 with a soname bump is coming to Rawhide

[Tomas Korbar]

Hey all,
Just wanted to inform you that memcached and libmemcached
are rebuilt in the side tag. So maintainers of dependent packages
(gearmand, Io-language, php-pecl-memcached) can proceed with
their build.
Regards.
