This means that somehow the broker is not sending the response to the producer and is sending it back to the wrong client. Any error in the broker log? Thanks, Jun On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 3:35 PM, Bob Jervis wrote: > I now have the following settings (in various configs): > > In our producer

We are trying that right now for Debian and finding that the current version makes it nearly impossible to follow packaging best practices. 1) The build process does not allow specification of a target directory, and thus pollutes the upstream package. 2) The build process downloads packages durin
