[Bug 701471] Re: Sync libevent 2.0.10 from Debian experimental

[Martin Pitt]

This just looks like a normal library update. The Debian maintainer did
bump the soname and also renamed the packages properly (see
http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/libevent). So in that
sense it's not a separate source and separate -dev package, so while you
can install the actual libraries side-by-side, the 1.4 library would be
NBS after the sync, and we would be forced to rebuild everything against
2.0.

So the main question is whether the reverse dependencies can be built
against and work with 2.0?

-- natty/main build deps on libevent-dev:
memcached
nfs-utils
php5
transmission

-- natty/universe build deps on libevent-dev:
beanstalkd
bitlbee
dnsproxy
farpd
forked-daapd
gearmand
getstream
honeyd
infon
ladvd
libdnsres
lua-event
memcachedb
museek+
mysql-proxy
pgbouncer
picviz
prelude-manager
python-event
python-gevent
scanssh
swordfish
tmux
tor
trickle
unworkable
