Thanks to you (and Jack) for pulling through and getting this done!
I've packaged this for Gentoo, so it will be available on a Portage
tree mirror near you soon. Two points of feedback:
- In the configuration using the CMake tools that we have available
from the package management system, I see libnanomsg.so.Unknown being
built. I might be doing something silly, but I think I'm following a
mostly standard CMake process. This is the result:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 16 10:09 /usr/lib64/libnanomsg.so ->
libnanomsg.so.5.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 16 10:09
/usr/lib64/libnanomsg.so.5.0.0 -> libnanomsg.so.Unknown
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 282576 May 16 09:57 /usr/lib64/libnanomsg.so.Unknown
- I hesitated to give feedback before, but I'm kind of unhappy with
the move to asciidoctor for the docs. Personally I don't have
asciidoctor installed, and I don't know of any other projects using
it. Now, I looked at (the dependency situation for it on Gentoo.
Whereas nanomsg was already keyworded for a bunch of architectures
(amd64 arm mips ppc ppc64 s390 x86), asciidoctor is only available for
amd64 right now (in order to satisfy our QA tools, I've had to drop
nanomsg back to amd64-only too). This suggests that very few projects
in the Gentoo tree are using it. On top of that, on my server at
least, installing asciidoctor requires a whopping 11 dependencies to
be installed. I'm not sure if most distributions install Ruby by
default, but to me this would be a big barrier for actually installing
the docs. On the other side, asciidoc requires Python (which in my
experience is nearly always installed by default), libxslt and some
docbook XML stuff.
Hope that helps,
Dirkjan
