Bug#570709: packaging hhvm
Hi Paul,
I think I've already contacted you or someone else from Facebook
about packaging HHVM for Debian. I own the ITP with its previous name,
hiphop-php . At the moment it can't be packaged for Wheezy and newer
because HHVM needs a libevent patch not available for the current
releases.
Couldn't find the error message from configure/cmake that it needs a
patched version of libevent ATM, still you can see the patching
line[1]. But Wheezy and later has a much newer[2] version (2.0.19+)
than the patch would like to extend (version 1.4.14).
If this can be solved, I would be happy to finish its packaging.
Regards,
Laszlo/GCS
