> I didn't know it was broken until now. There's no issues or PRs on github and I must have missed this bug report. It's been working fine for a year so why update if not broken?
It was easy to workaround with adding "-lrt -pthread" options to top level
library link command. But libinput switching from autotools to meson made this
kludge broken.

> It's not like the epoll interface changes a lot...
Really epoll-shim covers minimal subset of features required by
libinput/wayland so if someone dared to use it for something other, he should
wrote missed parts like eventfd, fcntl support, signal info e.t.c. So *this
library's* epoll interface is not stable yet.

> I will look into what's been updated on the original repo and see what's the best solution. If the original developer wants to take back ownership I'm all for it.
I see no difference if original repo is used or it's mirror if mirror is
up-to-date. And its possible to update repo keeping commit number in port
Makefile intact to stay with old version and avoid regressions.
