take a stronger stance and remove evutil_secure_rng_add_bytes() from libevent's API. Nothing calls it anyway, and there's even a big scary warning (tm) in libevent's header.. --- You should almost never need to call this function; it should be sufficient to invoke evutil_secure_rng_init(), or let Libevent take care of calling evutil_secure_rng_init() on its own. If you call this function as a _replacement_ for the regular entropy sources, then you need to be sure that your input contains a fairly large amount of strong entropy. Doing so is notoriously hard: most people who try get it wrong. Watch out! --- Bump event_core major, and remove the now useless configure.in patch. Discussed with/ok sthen@
