Yes, we have openSUSE leap 15.0 and leap 15.1 virtual servers for building all the RPM packages of our software. I wanted to explain our use case, a real world use case, but that could be introducing some confusion. I will try to rephrase in universal terms regardless of what we are developing: 1) Currently it is not possible for developers to build all of their software on openSUSE if one of their applications depends on libev-devel, and another application depends on libevent-devel. 2) Some applications using libevent-devel can not be ported to libev's libevent compatibility layer, because libev compatibility layer does not implement all of the libevent functionality. 3) Developers are forced to package their own libevent and libevent-devel packages with custom paths, like /opt. 4) RedHat and Debian do not have this restriction. Interestingly Debian resolves the conflict like this: - libev-dev: headers, but excluding event.h. - libev-libevent-dev: provider of event.h - libevent-dev: headers, including event.h -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
