Description : Implementation of the Pragmatic General Multicast protocol

OpenPGM is an open source implementation of the Pragmatic General
Multicast (PGM) specification in RFC 3208 available at www.ietf.org. PGM
is a reliable and scalable multicast protocol that enables receivers to
detect loss, request retransmission of lost data, or notify an
application of unrecoverable loss. PGM is a receiver-reliable protocol,
which means the receiver is responsible for ensuring all data is
received, absolving the sender of reception responsibility. PGM runs
over a best effort datagram service, currently OpenPGM uses IP multicast
but could be implemented above switched fabrics such as InfiniBand.

PGM is appropriate for applications that require duplicate-free
multicast data delivery from multiple sources to multiple receivers. PGM
does not support acknowledged delivery, nor does it guarantee ordering
of packets from multiple senders.

Bug#566126: ITP: openpgm -- Implementation of the Pragmatic General Multicast protocol
 

HI Adrian,
**A year later and I have a basic Autoconf/Automake system in trunk for OpenPGM ready to package for Debian.
I have a machine readable copyright file ready but pretty much stuck on getting anything else working. *The Autoconf system actually builds a libtool shared library in addition to the regular static library now.

I'm trying to get everything in order for a Debian package before my next release so the sources still need to be pulled from SVN until I can tag and upload a tarball.

Nice to see progress, note that I'm not involved in zeromq packaging anymore
(except to sponsor the odd upload) because I didn't follow up on my plans to
do cool stuff with zeromq. So my interest on getting involved in openpgm
packaging is similarly limited at this time.

Still, it would obviously be nice to have openpgm available in Debian, so
maybe somebody else is interested in working with you on this and/or sponsor
your upload.

cheers
