Nginx packages updated to 1.0.2

May 18, 2011 · Guillaume Plessis

After MySQL and Redis, it’s Nginx’ turn : version 1.0.2 has been released on May 10., bringing some minor changes and bugfixes.

Its packages are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” and Debian 5.0 “Lenny” in amd64 and i386 flavours.

Great! Would it be possible to add http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpHeadersMoreModule to the nginx-extra package? Or maybe nginx-extra-extra? :D I need it for removing of certain headers.
spirit May 20, 2011
Not related to nginx, but are you planning to have eaccelerator packages included in dotdeb ? Thanks.
- Guillaume Plessis May 20, 2011
  @spirit : I have nô plan for this, sorry

I’m so much love your repos and using it in all my server machines! So much want to see in repos fresh APE (Ajax-Push-Engine at ape-server.org) packages and also fresh nodejs packages.Also will be great to have PostgreSQL 9+ packages.
MechanisM May 26, 2011
Please update nginx to 1.0.3 It’s been released on 25th of May.
Guillaume Plessis May 26, 2011
@MechanisM : Nginx 1.0.3 has been released yesterday. I know when new versions are rolled out, there’s no need to remind me.
Thanks for your packages request, but, but I’m the only one to maintain all this stuff without sponsor nor major donation, so please don’t consider Dotdeb as “packages on demand”. Thanks.
MechanisM May 26, 2011
ok ok. np.

Hey, Guillaume Plessis.
I’m willing to see eAccelerator here too. Are we free to pack, add and maintain the package in the repo by ourselves?
Guillaume Plessis May 30, 2011
@Bulker : eAccelerator won’t be maintained on Dotdeb. But you can build your own package of it for your own needs.
Jools May 31, 2011
Thought about a dotdeb bugtracker? could be useful for people to report bugs and submit patches. For example I have a few extras for the nginx mime.types that are useful (flac and wav)
Bulker June 5, 2011
I have some extra too. Does anyone really needs “–with-mail –with-mail_ssl_module”? WTF?
Goran June 5, 2011
Would you consider publishing an article on how to setup our own repository?
Leif June 8, 2011
Hello Guillaume, I just want to say THANK YOU! I always looked for a way to upgrade my Lenny Box with php 5.3. I found your wonderful Site which helped me so much. Please keep on. I will donate in the near future.
cheetos June 9, 2011
Hello, can you also update xcache to 1.3.2 version? Thanks
- Guillaume Plessis June 9, 2011
  @cheetos : I’ll do it along with packages of the upcoming PHP 5.3.7
Linuxaria June 9, 2011
I join the people that thanks you Guillaume.
And people come on, Flattr him !!
- Guillaume Plessis June 9, 2011
  @Linuxaria : you’re welcome ;)
Philipp June 10, 2011
Are these modules also included?
nginx-upload-progress nginx-upstream-fair
Guillaume Plessis June 10, 2011
@Philipp : the included modules are listed in the packages’ description.
nginx-upload-progress is not included in any version (neither -light nor -full nor -extras). nginx-upstream-fair is included in all these flavors.

> nginx-upload-progress is not included in any version
Would be great if upload_progresss were included in a future version of the nginx package(s). Because i already make use of it (works fine !) i have to continue compiling my own version of nginx.
Guillaume Plessis June 12, 2011
@Zibbe : I’ll see what I can do about it.
Zibbe June 13, 2011
Oh eh..forget to mention: Thank you for dotdeb ! (hope i didn’t sound like a spoiled consumer ordering packages)
Jose July 5, 2011
I would like to help you maintain some of these packages, especially nginx. I rely on nginx for my hosting company and would love to help build packages to keep the systems up-to-date. Please contact me and let me know what I need to get started.
Bob July 17, 2011
Thanks for taking action, Jose! I would love to see faster releases :)
Jose July 17, 2011
I have created a small debian stable(squeeze) repository for amd64 nginx-1.0.4 package. They where backported from debian/testing. I have been testing it on my live servers and everything is working well. The nginx-extra package contains the nginx-upload-progress module everyone wanted. If there is interest for an x86 version I will be willing to make them.
This should be a seemless upgrade for amd64 platform users just add these two lines below to your sources list:
deb http://raffucci.net/debian/ squeeze main deb-src http://raffucci.net/debian/ squeeze main
After that an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade should do it. They are not signed yet so you will have to accept them. If you could try them out would be willing to make this a regular release when nginx releases.
- Guillaume Plessis July 22, 2011
  @Jose : thanks for your work. The “upload progress” and “secure download” modules have been added to the official Sid packages. Dotdeb’s brand new Nginx 1.0.5 includes them too.
Jose July 22, 2011
Awesome thanks for your work!
