Hello Pushkar, and thank you for your response: #0: The main motivation for this MIR has been Ceph, which can optionally be built with Kafka support. Because librdkafka is not in main, however, we've left out this feature. Several users have requested this to be enabled, which is the main force behind this MIR, and since librdkafka is - in my opinion, at least - a mature and battle tested library, I believe it's a good candidate for promotion.
#1: I've subscribed ubuntu-server, the team I originally nominated for maintenance. #2: I confirm that all the listed binary packages (librdkafka1, librdkafka++1, librdkafka-dev) are to be promoted. #3: I do not have a package in mind that may benefit from src:librdkafka. However, I will mention that the Ceph project has been moving towards runtime loading of dependencies in some places, which may mean that if the binary packages are promoted, but _not_ the source, then we may be left in a position in which Ceph can be built with Kafka support but it becomes unusable at runtime. In addition, and for completeness sake, I would still recommend src:librdkafka to be promoted if possible. #4: I'm in talks with the Debian maintainer for clarification on some aspects. I will get back to you on this one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2119045 Title: [MIR] librdkafka To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librdkafka/+bug/2119045/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
