Hello, Hi, I took the liberty of upgrading the repository on Alioth [1] to CZMQ 3.0.2, and uploaded the resulting packages to Mentors [2]. I added 2 backported patches, fixed some warnings and other changes. If it is all right with you, I will take over maintenance of this package and try to find a sponsor to finally upload it to Debian. The RFP is now 4 years old! :-) I already am the maintainer of the internal build of CZMQ at Brocade, so I am already doing this job for the company. Might as well do it for the community too! So, I had a look at the package and here are a few notes: * The changelog entries should be merged into a single one since it would be the first upload for the package.

Silly me, thought I CC'ed it and didn't go back to check. Thanks for the reminder! So, I had a look at the package and here are a few notes: * The changelog entries should be merged into a single one since it would be the first upload for the package. There's no need to list all the changes there either, the Initial release message with the closed bug is enough. Done. I kept only 2 entries, one for each patch, as I think it's useful information for a Changelog, if it's all right with you. * The -dev package should just be named libczmq-dev (i.e. without the version), this way next time the project bumps the SONAME it'll be easier to do the transition (you won't have to update all the reverse build dependencies). * Same goes for -dbg, but it's less important in that case. Reasoning for this choice was to follow what libzmq does, since the maintainer is making both libzmq1 and libzmq3 (and libzmq5 in experimental) available at the same time, and I thought in the future I'd do the same for libczmq. But thinking about it, the key difference is that upstream still maintains older versions of libzmq, but there is only one branch in libczmq, older versions did not get bugfix releases in the past so probably it won't happen in the future. So, done as you suggested :-) * The Conflicts field is not needed either way since the libczmq-dev package doesn't exist (and if you do rename the -dev package the Provides field is not needed either). Done. * The README.source doesn't really provide any useful information, so it can be removed (also, since the dh-autoreconf plugin is used, the tarball generated from GitHub would probably work as well). I added it since there is a discrepancy between the tarballs on the official website and Github, and to explain it. If it is all right with you, I would rather keep using the tarball from the website, for 2 reasons: 1) The package is smaller, and the autotools chain is already generated, which means less maintenance and faster build times for us (autoreconf is temporary, my patch has been merged so I will drop it eventually, when they do a new release). 2) At the moment, the Github tarball ships with an object file (src/foreign/sha1/sha1.o) (I sent a patch to remove it and it has been merged upstream), which means I would have to re-package it and mark it as ds, since it is against policy as far as I understand. The tarball on the website is sanitised and does not have this problem, so unintended files are less likely to fall in now or in the future. * No need to use both autotools-dev and dh-autoreconf. autoreconf is enough. Done. But please note that, as I wrote above, once a new release happens I plan to drop autoreconf, since my patch has been merged and re-generating the autotools chain will no longer be necessary. This will be an advantage because the build system will be closer as upstream intends to, and also means faster build times and less maintenance for us. * No need to override the debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature lintian warning (but it's not a problem if you want to do it anyway...). It was giving a warning on the Mentors upload page, so I added it. I'd like to keep it overridden if you don't mind :-) * Generally it's better to license the debian/* files under the same license of the project, in this case MPL-2.0. It seems that when the project was relicensed from the LGPL-3+, Arnaud decided to put the debian files under GPL-3 (without my consent...) which IMO doesn't make a lot of sense.

Done. * You might want to update the page at http://zeromq.org/distro:debian with your name. Done. I think that's all, though I might have missed something. Thank you very much for your feedback, it's very welcome! I also dropped libpgm-dev from the build-dep, as it is actually not needed (it's a dependency of libzmq-dev, and it pulls it in itself). I pushed all changes to the repo [1]. So, anyway, I'm open to sponsoring the package if needed, since Arnaud seems to be inactive. Once you've fixed the above just ping me and I'll have another look (no need to upload the package to mentors.d.n, I only use git anyway). Last week I talked to the ZMQ maintainer, László [CC'ed], and he expressed interest in sponsoring, but I think he is busy or away now, so if you think the package is in a good state to be uploaded I would be very happy to get the upload done with. Thank you, I really

Bug#630761: RFP: libczmq -- High-level C binding for ZeroMQ
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: libczmq Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Pieter Hintjens p...@imatix.com and others * URL : http://czmq.zeromq.org/ * License : LGPL3+ Programming Lang: C Description : High-level C binding for ZeroMQ czmq (previously known as libzapi) provides a high-level C binding for 0MQ, a lightweight messaging library. . This library provides higher level abstractions on top of the base library, with features such as: . * Work with messages as strings, individual frames, or multipart messages. * Automatic closure of any open sockets at context termination. * Automatic LINGER configuration of all sockets for context termination. * Portable API for creating child threads and ØMQ pipes to talk to them. * Simple reactor with one-off and repeated timers, and socket readers. * System clock functions for sleeping and calculating timers. * Easy API to get/set all socket options. * Includes generic hash and list containers. There are a few issues with the library: upstream makes no attempt at versioning it yet, so the packager will either need to convince upstream to at least use the package version in the SONAME, or find another workaround - or in the worst case, keep it out of Debian until upstream starts to version it properly. I plan to package this library at some point in the not too distant future, unless someone beats me to it (hence the RFP and not ITP). -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Uhm, really? There seem to be nothing wrong. Given that this is the first
version is normal to have 0.0.0 as interface numbers, it's just how libtool
is supposed to work [0]: Never try to set the interface numbers so that
they correspond to the release number of your package.
Anyway, why not call the source package czmq instead of libczmq? That seems
the name used by upstream.
I plan to package this library at some point in the not too distant

I would like to help if you need so (e.g. co-maintaining the package). I've
done a quick and dirty initial try to package this, and it doesn't seem
that hard. Please let me know.
Cheers

Right. I didn't check the README... well, I've only checked the README
shipped with the source tarball which is empty. That note is only on the
git repository. Anyway, it doesn't seem really an issue at this point to
me, we may manage to bump the SONAME by ourselves if we'll find it
appropriate (and at the same time try to convince upstream to use a
proper versioning :) ). But for safety we may as well wait a little bit.

Sure. I've just setup a git repository at [0] (hope it's ok for you to use
git and git-buildpackage, otherwise we may find an alternative solution).
The package still misses something (e.g. a -dbg package and a *.symbols
file), but it seems to work. Feel free to do any changes you find
appropriate. (Btw, I've used your description of the package, which seemed
better then mine).
