Re: [mosquitto-dev] mosquitto versions for debian

[Roger Light <roger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

A slightly convoluted procedure you can use for making your own debs
from the terminal is:

apt-get install build-essential debhelper devscripts libc-ares-dev
libssl-dev libwebsockets-dev libwrap0-dev python-all uthash-dev
uuid-dev

wget https://mosquitto.org/files/source/mosquitto-1.4.15.tar.gz
mv mosquitto-1.4.15.tar.gz mosquitto_1.4.15.orig.tar.gz
tar xf mosquitto_1.4.15.orig.tar.gz
git clone https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto
cd mosquitto
git checkout debian
cd ..
cp -r mosquitto/debian mosquitto-1.4.15
cd mosquitto-1.4.15
debuild

If everything goes to plan you should end up with all of the different
.debs in the parent directory.

Regards,

Roger

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.

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.
