Hi, As you might or might not be aware, we have been working hard for years to complete the libzmq relicensing effort that Pieter started long ago, from LGPL3+exceptions to standard MPL2: https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/issues/2376 After a lot of work, we are down to only 3 grants missing, covering the following: - tweetnacl integration as alternative to libsodium (relicensing NACKed) - zmq_proxy_steerable() (no answer) - ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX (no answer) We have been waiting for years, with many requests without responses for the latter two, and it doesn't make sense to wait anymore. So with this PR the above functionality will simply be removed: https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/pull/4554 I will merge it later today. Tweetnacl is really not a problem, it was always intended as a local- only thing to facilitate zmq_curve development, which is long done. The only supported production encryption implementation is libsodium, which is available everywhere, so I do not intend to put tweetnacl integration back. If anybody was using curve+tweetnacl in a production setting, they were doing something _very_ wrong and need to stop asap anyway. It's a footgun and it's best to be rid of it. The other two are more problematic, as they are public APIs. The PR changes them to be empty stubs that return EOPNOTSUPP (so that ABI doesn't change). But I will make at least an attempt to get a reimplementation so: If you are able to, and you have NEVER LOOKED AT THE PREVIOUS IMPLEMENTATIONS (I will require you to state this explicitly in the commit messages), please consider helping out and reimplementing these two APIs, based solely on the public documentation: http://api.zeromq.org/4-3:zmq-proxy-steerable http://api.zeromq.org/4-3:zmq-setsockopt#:~:text=connection%2Doriented%20transports-,ZMQ_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX,-%3A%20Set%20maximum%20reconnection I cannot stress this enough, it must be a clean-room reimplementation so no prior knowledge of the previous implementation details nor looking at the previos implementation is allowed (hence why I cannot do it myself). If you are able to help, please speak up. These are not difficult to add, especially the socket option should be very straightforward. I will of course be able to review and provide guidance. After merging the above PR I will complete the relicensing shortly after, taking advantage of the switch to also use the standard SPDX format in source files. The relicense grants will be moved to: https://github.com/rlenferink/libzmq-relicense for archival. _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
