Dear all--
Some notes for Linux hackers:
- The lack of kqueue support is the critical obstacle in a port to Linux. It may be that a kqueue emulation library based on epoll (or even libevent) could fill this gap. If someone wants to look at this, pay very careful attention to kqueue semantics, as libdispatch relies on them heavily.
That was also my thought after some initial poking in the code. I did stuble on a Linux API (Net:Kevent) today but haven't looked into it yet. I am not a hardcore linux coder, but would like to get involved in this. Great work, Robert and Co. cheers, :-Dennis
