Re: [mosquitto-dev] mosquitto versions for debian

[Roger Light <roger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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
