--- Comment #4 from Michal Nowak <mnowak at redhat.com>  2008-08-13 02:46:36 EDT ---
Thank for review, Nicolas.


* Mon Aug 12 2008 Michal Nowak <mnowak at redhat.com> - 3.43-2
- removed libev.a
- installing with "-p"
- event.h is removed intentionaly, because is there only for
  backward compatibility with libevent


Spec URL: http://mnowak.fedorapeople.org/libev/libev.spec
SRPM URL: http://mnowak.fedorapeople.org/libev/libev-3.43-2.fc9.src.rpm


Points 1. and 2. fixed.

Point 3: fixed by removing event.h because it's, according to upstream, only
for bw compatibility with libevent -> N/A for me, IMHO.

Unlikely, the "conflict" is by design.

That would break applications that expect to find it as event.h (basically
all libevent applications).

Why not do it like other distributions such as debian, where the common
header files are installed as alternatives, or optionally?

event.h is an alternative to the libevent event.h, it's not an unrelated
header file, it serves the same purpose in both libraries.

Point 4:

No interest from upstream, probably because when it's in /usr/lib/ no special
magic is necessary. When it's not upstream -> projects won't use it -> useless
to have it in Fedora.

What you think?
