Problem: ZeroMQ 4.1 downloads coming from VM that is about to be shut down
ewenmcneill opened this issue · 10 comments
The downloads for ZeroMQ 4.1 are coming from download.zeromq.org which is a CNAME to an iMatix VM. That VM is about to be shut down (somewhere between late May and mid-June). When that VM is shut down the downloads for ZeroMQ 4.1 will not work if they are not changed.
Suggested solution:
- Tag at least the most recent (4.1.4) release in the GitHub repository to create a GitHub release at the commit representing 4.1.4.
- Arrange for the auto-builder to run on
zeromq4-1and upload ready-to-build archives (and/or manually upload the existing archives) - Update the download page to link to the GitHub release hosted archives.

Looks like there is a v4.1.4 tag already, so in theory it just needs someone with commit access to the zeromq/zeromq4-1 repository to upload the existing archives (linked from downloads for ZeroMQ 4.1), and update the download links.

Please update the ZeroMQ 3.2 download links to point at:
https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq3-x/releases/download/v3.2.5/zeromq-3.2.5.tar.gz
https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq3-x/releases/download/v3.2.5/zeromq-3.2.5.zip
and the ZeroMQ 4.1 download links to point at:
https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq4-1/releases/download/v4.1.4/zeromq-4.1.4.tar.gz
https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq4-1/releases/download/v4.1.4/zeromq-4.1.4.zip
and the "previous releases" links to point at:
Earlier 3.x releases
Earlier 4.x releases
Plus a note that even older releases have been archived on archive.org, eg at:
https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22zeromq%22%20subject%3A%22message_queue%22
(Unfortunately there isn't yet a ZeroMQ Collection; I'll ask again tomorrow if I haven't heard back.)

Done, thanks.
@ewen-naos-nz @hintjens - want me to add the old tarballs to the respective tag/release here on Github?
@bluca: If you'd be willing to "make GitHub releases" with the old tarballs attached for each of the ZeroMQ 4.1 v4.1.x tags, and have access to do so, that'd be awesome. My post on the zeromq-dev list explains the actual process when the v4.1.x tag already exists (it was very confusing to figure out).
The original zip files can be found via links at:
https://imatix-legacy.github.io/zeromq-archived/
or at the moment via links at (turned on again):
Please double check the MD5SUMS and SHA1SUMS of the files you download before attaching them to make sure they're complete/unchanged.
Thanks,
Ewen
Sure will take care of it, thanks for the pointers
All done, checksums match.
@hintjens @ewen-naos-nz - shall I upload to the zeromq4-x repo too?
@bluca: Thanks! If you have time to upload the matching files for the zeromq4-x tags as well, that'd be great. And if you're extra enthusiastic, it might be worth doing a few more of the zeromq3-x ones as well (I know some distros are still shipping it as an option). I suspect it's not worth going any further back than that (even though I know there are still a few distros shipping ZeroMQ 2.x as a backwards compatibility option, but presumably that'll never change so they can probably just stick with their existing build).
Ewen
I went ahead and added all of them :-)
4-1, 4-x, 3-x, 2-x, 2-0 and CZMQ. For each of the releases I uploaded the tar.gz, zip, MD5SUMS and SHA1SUMS of the archive of each release.
@bluca: Wow, that's awesome! Thanks so much for doing that. It's great that gives a second copy of most of the original release archives (other than archive.org) that will stay online once the iMatix VM gets shut down (later this month).
