Hey Steve! So the zeromq crew was planning on starting the 4.2 release in May already, but things seem to have been pushed back and back with still no concrete release date. They're working on it still, also involving people from Debian, but there is simply no release date as of yet. But the release is pending - it's been mentioned multiple times that they're 'ready' for 4.2. My expectation is that it should be out (at least some official RC) in the nearest 1-2 months. I will try to reach out to the developers personally to maybe check on any possible ETA's from them.
This was also one of the reasons why I have been asked to prepare a snapshot based release for now. Since the release date is a big '?' for now, the scopes-api snap work would be blocked. From the assertions that have been made by Paweł from the scopes team it was found that backporting all the required changes to 4.1.5 would be risky and could potentially cause more harm. It's a tricky situation right now. We think of the snapshot as a temporary solution until 4.2 is released, as we'd like to sync up to an official upstream version as soon as possible. In that case we would like to get 4.2 as part of the FFe to 16.10 still. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to zeromq3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612240 Title: [FFe] Please upgrade zeromq3 and zmqpp to 4.1.2 git snapshot Status in zeromq3 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in zmqpp package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Please update zmqpp to version 4.1.2 with the following patch that I proposed upstream (it got merged into their "develop" branch): https://github.com/zeromq/zmqpp/pull/167/files (alternatively, use master + my patch or develop branch of zmqpp). This will require the current git snapshot of the zmq library (which will be version 4.2 when it's released) - https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq All the above is needed to support the new USE_FD socket option, which will probably be critical for scopes as snaps. == Feature Freeze Exception details == These packages are required by the ongoing work of the unity scopes for snappy. Due to unrelated to zeromq issues (unity-scopes-api unit- test issues on arm64, possibly due to recent toolchain changes) we did not make it in time before Feature Freeze. The packages have been prepared and tested in: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa- service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-005/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=yakkety There is no ABI breakage in zeromq3 so no reverse-depends rebuilds are required. The zmqpp package does break ABI so a so bump and rebuild of rev-deps was needed, but the currently only consumer of the zmqpp packages is unity-scopes-api. The new release of zeromq3 is based on a git snapshot as a new stable release of this project is planned in the nearest future, so a bit too late for the current plans. Some reverse- depends of zeromq3 have been tested to work fine with the new package as is. We kindly request a FFe for this very particular case.
