Please mark libevent-2.0.10.ebuild stable.

[Comment 1 Agostino Sarubbo 2011-03-29 16:25:59 UTC]

arches, wait


i remember that when i have installed libevent2, chromium does not work..

anyone can check?

Let's file some bug reports for its reverse dependencies first.

[Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo 2011-03-30 10:34:49 UTC]

amd64 ok

[Comment 4 Agostino Sarubbo 2011-03-30 10:38:44 UTC]

however works also with emake ( -j10 ) in src_install

[Comment 5 Alex Buell 2011-04-03 23:09:26 UTC]

transmission 2.13 will not work if this library is installed. You need to coordinate with the transmission folks to make sure transition to this library is handled in an orderly manner, I will not test this for now.

[Comment 6 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2011-04-11 22:47:22 UTC]

Stable for HPPA.

[Comment 7 Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) 2011-04-26 08:07:49 UTC]

Why does this *block* instead of depending on transmission-2.22 stable?

[Comment 8 Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) 2011-04-26 09:38:05 UTC]

I have changed the blocks to depends because I think they belong this way.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You need to have the library stabilized before you can stabilize packages that depend on it.

Thus the stabilization of libevent-2 blocks the stabilization of transmission-2.22.

Well, they need to go stable at the same time since installing the new libevent also makes earlier versions of transmission fail.  Arch-teams please take this into account.  For the other bugs it is correct as it is now.  First the programs need to be stabilized because they need to be patched to work with libevent-2.

[Comment 11 Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) 2011-04-29 10:30:19 UTC]

x86 stable. Thanks

[Comment 12 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2011-05-03 07:29:26 UTC]

amd64 good

[Comment 13 Christoph Mende (RETIRED) 2011-05-05 06:21:44 UTC]

amd64 stable

[Comment 14 Juan Francisco Giordana 2011-05-06 07:22:21 UTC]

Upgrading to dev-libs/libevent-2.0.10 [1.4.14b] forced me to rebuild 
net-misc/memcached-1.4.5 and dev-libs/libmemcached-0.39 on two servers. Not sure if this is a bug though.

Nope.  The API between libevent-2 and -1 are not 100% compat, so its a good idea to rebuild.  revdep-rebuild is your friend (at least until portage does this magic for you).

[Comment 16 Markus Meier 2011-05-13 04:32:34 UTC]

arm stable

[Comment 17 Michael Weber (RETIRED) 2011-05-21 16:02:22 UTC]

ppc/sparc stable

[Comment 18 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2011-06-11 16:23:34 UTC]

alpha/ia64/s390/sh stable
