Remove support for deprecated Julia REQUIRE, Julia < 1.3 #1350

Closed minrk closed 6 months ago

minrk commented 6 months ago

it doesn't work anymore because build dependencies of the old ZMQ.jl have been removed, so I don't see a feasible way for us to keep it working.

xref https://github.com/JuliaInterop/ZMQ.jl/issues/228

closes #1349

minrk commented 6 months ago

Looks like the oldest version of ZMQ.jl that doesn't rely on the removed repo requires Julia 1.3, starting with https://github.com/JuliaInterop/ZMQ.jl/pull/194 . So now Julia 1.3 is the oldest version we can support.

fwiw, julia 1.3 is from November 2019, about 4.5 years ago, and the newest version we supported with REQUIRE was 1.1.1, just over 5 years ago now.

in fact, 1.3-1.5 fail with "No Such Device" in the precompile bind here:

ZMQ.bind(s1, "tcp://localhost:*")

so as it is now, only Julia >= 1.6 will actually work.

The precompile on 1.3-1.5 should be fixed by https://github.com/JuliaInterop/ZMQ.jl/pull/237

It would probably behoove us to have frozen base environments for Julia eventually. That wouldn't nave solved the current problem, though.
