Hi All, Debian Wheezy was handed over to the LTS team in April 2016, with no official Debian support, updates or backports. On 31st May 2018 all support will cease.
Before this date however, some upcoming changes to the Machinekit code will mean the end of Wheezy package production for Machinekit. czmq4 has changed its API quite markedly, so as to be backwardly incompatible with the czmq in current use. Work has been done to port Machinekit, which uses czmq quite heavily, to the new API. Debian Stretch repos already contain the new czmq4 library packages and work is ongoing to start package production for Stretch. Machinekit specific czmq4 packages based on the later code, have been created for Jessie. However there is no intention to backport down to Wheezy, as it is near complete termination. Therefore when the new code is merged into Machinekit, package production for Wheezy will cease. The existing Wheezy packages will be retained for the foreseeable future. Users are encouraged where possible to upgrade to Jessie, which has a few years life left in it. (will be LTS until April 2020) Before too long there should be the option to use Stretch also. regards -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
