14:40:04 <mischief> hi. i'm new to omnios. how do i install libevent? i see https://github.com/omniosorg/omnios-build/pull/4142 was merged recently. i'm on OmniOS Community Edition v11 r151058f, i believe
15:12:38 <m1ari> mischief: I don't think it's in the pkg repositries yet
15:14:04 <m1ari> I would assume it would appear in bloody first (or might already be, but I can't see it on https://pkg.omnios.org/bloody/core/en/index.shtml)
15:15:45 <m1ari> I'm not sure whether it would appear in r151058 or if it's inclusion would be delayed until the release of r151060 (likely October/November)
15:19:26 <mischief> that is a shame. i believe my libevent code to be working well but my bare poll code not. :')
21:13:18 <andyf> libevent will be in the bloody (bleeding edge) release first and eventually make it into r151060 as m1ari said. We can consider backporting to one of more of the stable releases too if it's useful to people but we don't automatically do that. libev is in all of the releases if it's an alternative.
22:59:42 <mischief> andyf: i didn't make a libev backend but i suppose i could. i might just debug my poll backend though, since it already exists and half works. thanks!
23:10:12 <andyf> On illumos you should probably be using event ports rather than poll as they're supported first class. I think libev has a libevent compat mode but it's been a while since I looked.
