e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people who are no longer maintaining those ports.

An ocaml wrapper for the libevent API. The libevent API provides a
|
|
mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event
|
|
occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached.
|
|
Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due to signals or
|
|
regular timeouts.
|
|
|
|
Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2)
|
|
and epoll(4). It also has experimental support for real-time signals.
|
|
The internal event mechanism is completely independent of the exposed
|
|
event API, and a simple update of libevent can provide new functionality
|
|
without having to redesign the applications. As a result, Libevent
|
|
allows for portable application development and provides the most
|
|
scalable event notification mechanism available on an operating
|
|
system.
