Mirrors

[if-any logo] [end] The currently selected mirror is [preferred]. If you encounter a problem with this mirror, please select another. If all mirrors are failing, there are backup mirrors (at the end of the list) that should be available, or you may also consult the complete list of mirrors.

It is good practice to verify the integrity of the downloaded files using signatures downloaded from our main distribution directory.

QpidComponents.org

QpidComponents.org provides further components for Apache Qpid, including both persistence and management tools. These components are open source, but are not developed as part of the Apache Qpid project due to licensing or other restrictions.

Contributed C++ Packages

Windows Installer

The Windows installer is available from http://www.riverace.com/qpid/downloads.htm. It is built from the C++ broker & client and C# WCF Channel source distributions listed above. It has been tested for Windows XP SP3 and above.

Pre-built Linux Packages

Fedora

On Fedora, Qpid can be installed using yum. Because Java RPMs are not yet available in Fedora repos, the Java client is not in these distributions.

To install the server:

# yum install qpidd
      

To install C++ and Python clients:

# yum install qpidc-devel
      

# yum install amqp python-qpid
      

To install documentation:

# yum install rhm-docs
      

To install persistence using an external store module:

# yum install rhm
      

Source Code Repository

The latest version of the code is always available in the Source Repository.

Verify the integrity of the files

It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP signatures or SHA1 checksums.

The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the KEYS file as well as the .asc PGP signature file for the relevant artefact. Make sure you get these files from the relevant subdirectory of the main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using:

% pgpk -a KEYS
% pgpv qpid-0.8.tar.gz.asc
or
% pgp -ka KEYS
% pgp qpid-0.8.tar.gz.asc
or
% gpg --import KEYS
% gpg --verify qpid-0.8.tar.gz.asc

Alternatively, you can verify the SHA1 checksum of the files. A unix program called sha1 or sha1sum is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of GNU Textutils. For windows users, fsum supports SHA1. Ensure your generated checksum string matches the string published in the SHA1SUM file included with each release. Again, make sure you get this file from the relevant subdirectory of the main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror
