Overview

Manages the zeromq package(s)

Description

This module will install the zeromq, also commonly called zmq or 0mq, library and header packages. Only operating systems that have packages for at least the zeromq version 3+ API are supported. Version 3 packages will be installed by default but if your operating system has version 4 package(s), they may optionally be specified.

Usage

include zeromq

class { 'zeromq': }

class { 'zeromq':
  version => 3, #default
}

At present, version => 4 (or any version value other than 3) is only supported on Gentoo.

class { 'zeromq':
  version => 4,
}

$osfamily == RedHat considerations

The el6.x packages are provided by EPEL6 but this module does not configure nor have a dependency on a module that will configure a EPEL6 yumrepo. This is to avoid potentially conflicting with a local yumrepo configuration, which is fairly common for sites that have more than a hand full of nodes.

If you do not have a local site setup, the stahnma/epel module is a good option for configuring EPEL6.

You will likely want to declare resource ordering in your catalog to ensure that the EPEL6 repo is configured before this module in the catalog. Eg:

Class['epel'] -> Class['zeromq']
include zeromq
