Hey folks, My understanding is that work is underway on that. There was an email a few days ago about libkqueue, which is a userspace implementation of the kqueue userspace notification system. Kqueue is used heavily by libdispatch, but wasn't available on Linux before libkqueue. More information on it is here: http://mark.heily.com/libkqueue/ yours, Bobby On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 10:16 AM, Thomas Gall <tom_gall@mac.com> wrote:

Hi Kingston,

I'd be very interested in that as that's my reason for joining the list. I've been lurking to get up to speed on things.

Hi,  I'd like to know whether there are guys are interested in porting libdispatch to linux platform? From my option, it is more useful and interesting. Many servers are running on linux platform and libdispatch can help to improve much more performance. I want to do something on it.  If having any related news and projects, pls let me know.

Thanks,

Kingston, I think you misunderstand. The libkqueue project is a prerequisite to pointing libdispatch to Linux, at least at this stage of the game. If you have a different approach you'd like to try and have the code in hand then by all means propose the appropriate diffs to this list, but it sounds more to me like you're waiting for someone else to port it, in which case I can only suggest taking a seat in the viewing gallery and waiting for efforts already underway to be completed. I don't think saying "we need to do this" really adds any value right now. :) - Jordan On Nov 9, 2009, at 5:31 PM, kk yuker wrote:

Hi Bobby, Thanks for ur sharing. I think we need a complete libdispatch project such as ones on FreeBSD, Solaris. Kqueue is a great project but it is one part of libdispatch, not the whole thing. Maybe we need manage to start a new porting project. Can somebody help on it?

Thanks,

Maybe we need involve more people to push on it.

Whoever is interested is already working on it, in different directions and probably all of them in their free time. You just have to wait. Of course nobody is going to give any kind of time estimate---or even is *able* to give it. Paolo
