It wasn¹t me, but I¹m happy to take over the conversation. Sadly, HHVM doesn¹t work on libevent 2. It was a total rewrite of the API and doesn¹t meet our needs.
Can we either: 1) distribute a libevent1.4-hhvm package with the patched .so files in /var/lib/hhvm/ 2) bundle the patched .so into hhvm (which I do for the one on [3]) 3) something else? A similar thing will have to happen for libglog. That one doesn¹t need any patches and we work on anything 0.3.1 and higher so it might just be a straightforward requirement to package. As for the status of the ITP, I¹ve been trying to package it the correct way, and our build environment wants to create all the temporary files inline with the build instead of a subdirectory, so dpkg-buildpackage doesn¹t like all the new files around. If you have a functioning packaging environment I would be more than happy to hand off the packaging to you.
