Bug#972785: zeromq3: Include cmake files for cppzmq

Show all headers | View raw

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] - view raw

Hi,

I want to tackle this issue again - I really want to package cppzmq as a
separate package. Besides the already mentioned reason for not needing to
patch downstream build systems, there is also the advantage that you can
actually see from apt which version of cppzmq is in Debian.
Also, I added pkg-config support. While yes, cppzmq is header only and you
don't __need__ a pkg-config lookup, it is much simpler to just add
`dependency(cppzmq)` than to check for the headers and depend on libzmq.
Additionally I have added an autopkgtest, which is a nice bonus.

Anyway, the change is relatively easy: I already have the packaging done in
Salsa [1] and filled an ITP [2]. As I am a DD I can upload and maintain it,
the only thing I need from you Laszlo is to remove zmq.hpp and
zmq_addon.hpp from the binary package and add cppzmq in Suggests (which
should be very low effort). I think it is also a good idea to write a NEWS
entry so that users will know about the change, though I think this is not
that important if you don't want to put in that much effort.

To do the migration, I would first put cppzmq in NEW (after your ok), and
after it has been accepted in NEW you would upload the new version of
zeromq3. Overall I think the transition will be less painful than patching
build systems downstream (and annoying Debian users that write software
using the CMake files).
