Add mosquitto broker to repo

[Nic2012]

Hi,
great work with this new distro, works fine. But could y add the MQTT broker Mosquitto to the repo.
I could compile it, but there are several dependencies (e.g. http://goochgooch.co.uk/2014/08/01/building-mosquitto-1-4/) needed for libwebsocket and Mosquitto that are not existing in repo.

Best reagards,
Nic

Hi,
Thanks! MQTT has been on my mind to support.

Which exact dependencies are missing? libwebsocket itself is not there, but it's dependencies are: zlib, cmake, and libopenssl (our default package has the libssl-dev files in /usr/include and /usr/lib). Are there C Library pieces missing as well for libwebsocket?

And for Mosquitto, it looks like we don't have uuid-dev, xsltproc, and docbook-xsl.

Is that your understanding as well?

Hi Chris,
yes according to mentioned URL, I have also read there are some dep, maybe these dep have also some dep that isnt yet in your repo. I am not a C expert, sorry and I havent compiled it on a Linux distro, but in OpenWrt, Asus-Merlin and Raspbian Jessie all have it in their repo, but always without websocket support.

But in the latest Raspbian/Linux Stretch when y install e.g. the Mosq-Broker the libwebsocket is installing automatically, which is a big progress. With incl. websocket support the Mosq. broker is able to send to Webbrowser client as well!

This http://www.steves-internet-guide.com/mqtt-websockets/ mentioned some problems with ares.h file, but he commits that http://goochgooch.co.uk/2014/08/01/building-mosquitto-1-4/ seems to work.

Best regards,
Nic
