What is this project ?

This project is NOT the official cppzmq repository.

It is a fork of cppzmq sources hosted at https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq.

It is used as staging area to maintain and test patches that will be contributed back to the official repository.

What is the branch naming convention ?

Each branch is named following the pattern slicer-YYYY-MM-DD-vY.Y.Z-SHA{N}

where:

vX.Y.Z is the version of the forked project
YYYY-MM-DD is the date of the last official commit associated with the branch.
SHA{N} are the first seven characters of the last official commit associated with the branch.

git clone git://github.com/Slicer/cppzmq
cd cppzmq
git remote add upstream git://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq
git fetch upstream

Create a new branch following the convention slicer-YYYY-MM-DD-vY.Y.Z-SHA{N}
Cherry-pick the Slicer specific commits from last branch. Resolve conflict as needed.
To test the changes, locally rebuild Slicer.
Publish the branch. (directly in this repo if you have push rights, or on a fork)
