The backend software for administering the Debian repository at
|
||
|
|
https://repo.mosquitto.org/ has been migrated from `reprepro` to `aptly`. This
|
||
|
|
has the benefit of allowing multiple versions of a package to remain in the
|
||
|
|
repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For mosquitto, this now means that old versions of the Debian packages will
|
||
|
|
remain available even after newer versions are published, and so you can depend
|
||
|
|
on a particular version. The recommendation is always to use the latest version
|
||
|
|
of course.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This change should be transparent to all current users, but there is the
|
||
|
|
possibility that something is different between the two repository tools. If
|
||
|
|
you do find a problem, please let us know.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The repository now has builds for versions 1.4.15 and 1.5.
