Peter, A ZMQ user has finally replied to the post. He elegantly moderated the author's point of view. I think it's enough to indicate to the readers that ZMQ is more than just a buggy piece of code :-) N.

We've seen this lots of times. Unless someone can point to an actual systemic problem with the process, or code base, there's no reason to take such venting too seriously IMO. Nicholas, if you still want me to reply, I'll try again. But I fear my sarcastic "So, you can spend a day writing this post but not an hour making a pull request?" comment would be unhelpful. :-) The thing about C4, we don't check that a patch doesn't break regression tests before merging them. This is the contributor's job. The rule about "must build and pass tests" allows anyone who disagrees with the patch to revert it. Mistakes are welcome, that's how we learn. -Pieter Ps. I still get a couple of test failures in the libzmq master. Anyone else seeing these? lt-test_connect_delay: test_connect_delay.cpp:153: int main(): Assertion `rc == 0' failed. /bin/bash: line 5: 29787 Aborted (core dumped) ${dir}$tst lt-test_raw_sock: test_raw_sock.cpp:217: int main(): Assertion `rc == 0' failed. /bin/bash: line 5: 29910 Aborted (core dumped) ${dir}$tst _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
