I've applied patch from ejabberd maillist and its works fine for a week now on
my ejabberd server.

btw, dependence on tk now depends on X flag.

I used your ebuild from Comment #1 and adjusted it to get the poll patch from
distfiles, rather than in files/ to save space.  I changed the file name to use
MY_PV. Attached is my diff from 10.2.6 to the adjusted ebuild for 10.2.7.

I tried it out, it seems to work fine.  vapier, I can commit it to the tree if you
consent.  I have recomputed/checked the other patches we apply.

any chance we can make sure upstream erlang is aware of the epoll patch before
we start using it ?

erlang-10.2.6-10.2.7.patch

if you want to test & commit this patch, that'd be cool

------- Comment #7 From Matthew Kennedy (RETIRED) 2005-10-20 07:09:04 0000 ------- 
On second thoughts, perhaps we should apply the epoll patch via a local USE
flag?

diff erlang-10.2.{6,7}.ebuild

Support for local USE flag, "epoll".

i dont think we should bother with that ... a quick glance at the code shows
that it should fall back to other poll methods if epoll fails to work

Commit Attachement #70981 to portage. Thanks for the bug report and epoll
information.
