Re: [mosquitto-dev] mosquitto versions for debian

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your prompt reply.  I think I will try to use the old debian version at first and then plan to upgrad all of my field servers to a newer version of debian as time permits.  I'll need to build  up a server and test it and then develop a clean and hopfully quick way to update servers in the field.   We will use the doi when we reference mosquito in the future.

Cheers,  Paul

Hi Paul,

Debian Wheezy is now out of its LTS phase and so is not supported by Debian any more. This is the same reason why we no longer provide Wheezy packages.

Ordinarily I would always suggest upgrading to a supported version, but I realise that isn't always practical. I would say that using the Jessie version will almost certainly get you in trouble, and the version of Mosquitto in the Debian Wheezy repositories is extremely old - no TLS support for example.

In your case, you could try building your own deb packages for your system. It's not too complicated a process, but I'm not sat at a Linux computer to check the steps at the moment though. Let me know if you want to give it a try and I'll put some time into it.

A small request - if you cite Mosquitto in a future conference/journal paper could you please use doi:10.21105/joss.00265 instead of the website?

Cheers,

Roger
