patch to increase the delay
I just sent some mail to the libevent-users mailing list to see why this value can not be set to -1 which would make the epoll wait forever or even make the time out configurable... ping? Fixed in libevent-1.3b-1.fc7 The purpose of the delay is to handle (as best as possible) cases where the clock goes backwards. But with CLOCK_MONOTONIC, this is unnecessary. I just sent a couple patches to the upstream list which make the delay infinite on Linux. Hopefully they'll make it into libevent-1.3c. http://monkeymail.org/archives/libevent-users/2007-July/000700.html Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
