https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D243649 Bug ID: 243649 Summary: devel/libepoll-shim: Update to 0.0.20191109 version to unbreak re-plugging input devices Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: grembo@FreeBSD.org devel/libepoll-shim is at version 0.0.20190311, which has a couple of shortcomings that have been fixed upstream[0]. I noticed this when re-plugging a USB keyboard device didn't work, which was due to a problem freeing up kqueue entries in libepoll-shim. I've been told that the fixes in upstream are required to unbreak x11-wm/sw= ay and x11-wm/wayfire (see [1]) The port currently uses a forked repo[2] at github.com/FreeBSDDesktop that = has a pending pull request[3] to merge the fixes from upstream. Now, I'm happy to produce a patch to be reviewed by maintainers here.The question is, how it should be done. I would suggest to change the port to use upstream directly and switch to u= sing cmake (and ctest, to run unit tests). If having a cmake dependency is a big problem, we can work around that without forking the repo. If maintainers are unhappy with this, the alternative would be to get the changes merged from upstream into the forked repo at github and subsequently update the port - which would be more work, also on future updates. Given that upstream exists for the purpose of being used on FreeBSD for that exact purpose, I would like to switch to use upstream directly if possible = to avoid these complications in the future. If not, some advise on how to get things merged upstream would be nice.
