Hi All: FWIW, in my shop procedures to release code into prod are very strict, and versioning is a key part of that. A single release consists of a dozen or so component packages — some of these are open-source project hosted by others (e.g., https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq <https://github.com/nyfix/libzmq>), some are open-source projects that we host ourselves (e.g., https://github.com/nyfix/OZ <https://github.com/nyfix/OZ>), and some are internal closed-source projects.
In order to build the open-source components, both our own and others’, we need to create a “parent” project that provides the required tooling, boilerplate, etc. for our internal build process, and then pull in the open-source “core” (e.g., using git submodules). For open-source projects that we don’t host ourselves, the submodule points to a fork that can contain commits that are essential to us, but for one reason or another have not (yet) been accepted upstream. As you can imagine, this is all a major PITA. Anything that makes this process easier to track and audit is helpful. I’ll also add that not having defined releases is a major impediment to incorporating ZeroMQ (or any other project) in a typical corporate environment.
