Dotdeb’s packages of Nginx 1.2.6 are now available for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” (amd64/i386) with the following changes (see the Changelog) :
- Feature: the $request_time and $msec variables can now be used not only in the “log_format” directive.
- Bugfix: cache manager and cache loader processes might not be able to start if more than 512 listen sockets were used.
- Bugfix: in the ngx_http_dav_module.
As usual, if you want to know which module has been included in each Nginx flavor, you just have to look at this document.

Great job, thanks!
I just can’t wait for the 1.3. branch for the official, stable SPDY – Support 😉
updated!
Thanks again Guillaume!
Unfortunately, somehow my nginx is not updating… although with apt-get install nginx I ges this:
Preparing to replace nginx 1.2.5-1~dotdeb.0 (using …/nginx_1.2.6-1~dotdeb.0_all.deb) …
Unpacking replacement nginx …
Setting up nginx (1.2.6-1~dotdeb.0) …
After doing this, nginx -v still returns 1.2.0 🙁 Any ideas?
@Steven : you may have another nginx binary with an higher priority in your PATH on your system. Type which nginx. Sould be /usr/sbin/nginx.
Indeed and thanks Guillaume, my thoughts as well, but I installed nginx initially from dotdeb, and which nginx indeed returns /usr/sbin/nginx. I have no clue what is going on.
Ok I found the issue.
“dpkg -l” showed that nginx was indeed 1.2.6, but the nginx-common and nginx-full packages were still at 1.2.0 (are they not linked?)
So, I did “apt-get install nginx-common” and all is updated now!
Guillaume, what about http_redis module?
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRedis
There is an extended memcached plugin for nginx which will allow storing headers and such: https://github.com/bpaquet/ngx_http_enhanced_memcached_module
mechached module for nginx is not as good as redis one:

nginx-extras package does not install on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. There are two unmet dependencies:
Depends: perlapi-5.10.1, but it is not installable
Depends: libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1) but it is not installable
Ubuntu’s own nginx-extras package depends on perlapi-5.14.2 and libperl5.14 (>= 5.14.2)
Can this issue be resolved by relaxing the version requirements of the nginx-extras package in dotdeb?
@Tero : Dotdeb is built for Debian stable. If you want to use it on Ubuntu (at your own risk), you’d certainly want to add Debian Squeeze’s related entries in your sources.list to staisfy the dependencies.
For me Nginx is also not upgrading. I try update and upgrade but still stuck on version 1.2.4. This can be seen by typing nginx -v and dpkg -l. The initial install was done with dotdeb as adding the dotdeb PPA was the first thing I did after the new server was created.
I also tried upgrading just nginx-common and nginx-full as Steven has mentioned.
Any ideas?
I was wondering, are you planning on adding to your nginx builds support for SPDY? There’s an official patch for this: nginx.org/patches/spdy/
It’ll will be great if you implement this in future versions. Thanks for your work!
@Yakov : I already know that this patch exists. I’ll include it in the Dotdeb package at latest when it’s included in the stable release.
Good to hear. Thanks for the response.
What exactly is the nginx-http-substitution-filters module included in the nginx-full package?
I tried to google for it, but no exact match cannot be found. Is it this module: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpSubsModule ?
@Tero : yes, this is http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpSubsModule
I was wondering what the boxes with the grey background mean in the spreadsheet of modules?
@Daniel15 : they are the differences with Debian packages from Sid.

Use patch and repair it.
@Ondra42 : thanks a lot for the feedback. I’ll see what I can do.
