Thomas Ward (teward) wrote : Please merge nginx 1.10.0-1 (main) from Debian Unstable (main)

NGINX 1.10.0 in Debian has multiple packaging changes, including introduction of dh_nginx for the nginx-specific builds (not yet in its own packaging) and Dynamic Module introduction.

The dynamic modules in NGINX are not complete, therefore some are dynamic and some are not. This introduces a sort of 'hybrid' between static-compiled modules and dynamic-compiled-and-included modules; this 'hybrid' requires the various NGINX flavors to still be compiled with most of the static compiled modules compiled in, but introduces some support for some of the more dynamically-included modules as well.

Some third-party modules are converted to Dynamic, but not all; Lua module is one such module.

------

This is a messy merge - neither Merge-O-Matic, nor rbasak's git merge workflow have produced usable builds, so it may be a case of 'starting over' with a Debian package, and applying the nginx delta we have now manually. Once that is completed, future merges should not be anywhere near as painful or messy.

------

This will eventually be tested after everything related to this is figured out.
