[zeromq-dev] ZMQ for transit project, and debian package

[Michael Frumin]

All,

Just an FYI, that ZeroMQ has been selected as the messaging bus for
the back end of the NYC-wide expansion of http://bustime.mta.info/
(http://bustime.mta.info/wiki/Technology), which is going to be
completely open source.  It would have been fun to use it for the
bus-to-server over-the-air comms, but alas.

One question I have though -- is there any sort of debian precompiled
ZMQ package?  If not, curious, why not?  The contractor is developing
some pretty rigorously scripted deployment for the whole system (using
chef, onto AWS) and at this point the slowest step is the compiling of
ZMQ on every machine...

Thanks,
Mike
