+define Package/libevent2/description
+	The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function
+	when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout
+	has been reached. Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due
+	to signals or regular timeouts.
+
+	libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven
+	network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch()
+	and then add or remove events dynamically without having to change
+	the event loop.
