However, in this case libevents is about a factor 10 larger in terms of source code than libtevent, and that's even without the wrapper that would add talloc support and the support for AIO. But more importantly (with my upstream hat on): we have to support a lot of folks that are not running fancy systems like Debian (apt FTW), and who have to still install everything manually. This means another dependency for them to install. Cheers, Jelmer -- Jelmer Vernooij <jelmer@samba.org> - http://samba.org/~jelmer/ Jabber: jelmer@jabber.fsfe.org
