The Apache Stratos [1] project is currently investigating using Proton to connect to an ActiveMQ AMQP 1.0 broker using Python.
The Stratos project is a PaaS that manages VM instances. Each VM instance may have different Linux operating systems (e.g. Debian or Redhat deriavatives). The VM instances are provisioned at runtime using puppet to install the necessary software such as client software for communicating instance status back to the Stratos AMQP 1.0 server. To minimise the provisioning time, it would be ideal if we could install binaries such as proton rather than having to compile it from source. Are there any plans to provide distribution binaries for proton-c? If not, do you recommend an approach we can follow to build the binaries once on a development machine so those binaries can be copied onto the Stratos puppet server (e.g. make dist)? Many thanks, Chris --- [1] stratos.apache.org
