But what do you suggest as an=20 alternative? I certainly won't reinvent the wheel for the libevent calls=20 in ftp-proxy. Importing libevent code private to ftp-proxy seems equally=20 wrong. So the alternatives - to me at least - are either importing=20 libevent or leaveing ftp-proxy in ports. Pick your poison. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart1299045.gxVR5udAAe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGZpz5XyyEoT62BG0RAv3ZAKCB6ZQScP9VKxm6EIe3R984mGMZ/QCfQhwn YOuohsB7QaeHr0xUq7LqU7s= =yKVc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1299045.gxVR5udAAe--
