hybserv needlessly wakes up every 200 microseconds

Here's my simple solution. I've been running with this patch for several months with no problems whatsoever.

Similar bug on Debian tracker:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=614928

That submitter's patch looks a bit more accurate than provided above.

The attachment "debdiff" of this bug report has been identified as being a patch in the form of a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. In the event that this is in fact not a patch you can resolve this situation by removing the tag 'patch' from the bug report and editing the attachment so that it is not flagged as a patch. Additionally, if you are member of the ubuntu-sponsors team please also unsubscribe the team from this bug report.

Hi,

hybserv has been removed from Debian and thus will not be part of Precise, so I'm not sure this makes sense to fix it.
It you feel that this is worth a SRU (Stable Release Update. You can find a description there: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates ), please follow the process described at the previous link.

I'm unsubscribing sponsors for the moment: please subscribe sponsors again as soon as you get the SRU part sorted out.

Thanks,
Fabrice

For what it's worth, I've improved my patch -- the previous one, with no timeout whatsoever, caused periodic checks (the calls to DoTimer()) which are intended to be run once per second to be delayed on quiet servers. The new one uses a 1-second timeout.

It's a shame hybserv has been dropped -- I still actively use it and intend to continue to do so. If it helps, I would be happy to lend a hand with the maintenance of this package.
