How to revive jzmq

[ca-mu]

Hello all,

last release has been a long time ago, the call for maintainers has not been successful, at least as far as I know, and zeromq is at 4.2.5 with many new features. How can we revive this project. I would love to help, but don't know how to get started.

A good way to breath life into the project is to start contributing patches. I would test against the latest version of libzmq and submit issues and patches. Once it's stabilized, I can help deploying it to Maven central.

Best of luck,
Trev

Hi all,
just to get a better understanding. When contributing patches how do I prevent the patch from failing and not being integrated into jzmq due to required changes to the Travis CI build steps, e.g. java9/10/11? ( I am assuming that I can't ( and really shouldn't) changed the Travis Ci config.

Thanks,
ca-mu

P.S. I am currently trying to set up a mirrored CI server configuration that would allow me to circumvent these kind of issues

You're free to update things as you see fit, including the CI builds as long as you follow the C4 processes which JZMQ uses. Submitting a pull request will trigger a Travis build -- there really is no need to mirror the CI setup.
