[zeromq-dev] [zeromq-announce] When is new version of libzmq getting released?

[Bill Torpey]

Hi All:

FWIW, in my shop procedures to release code into prod are very strict, and versioning is a key part of that.  A single release consists of a dozen or so component packages — some of these are open-source project hosted by others  (e.g., https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq <https://github.com/nyfix/libzmq>), some are open-source projects that we host ourselves (e.g., https://github.com/nyfix/OZ <https://github.com/nyfix/OZ>), and some are internal closed-source projects.  

In order to build the open-source components, both our own and others’, we need to create a “parent” project that provides the required tooling, boilerplate, etc.  for our internal build process, and then pull in the open-source “core” (e.g., using git submodules).  For open-source projects that we don’t host ourselves, the submodule points to a fork that can contain commits that are essential to us, but for one reason or another have not (yet) been accepted upstream.

As you can imagine, this is all a major PITA. Anything that makes this process easier to track and audit is helpful.

I’ll also add that not having defined releases is a major impediment to incorporating ZeroMQ (or any other project) in a typical corporate environment.

Regards,

Bill
