Source: nginx Severity: wishlist I have received multiple requests in downstream PPAs and repositories to enable the `--with-compat` configuration option.
This would allow for users to build additional dynamic modules with binary module compatibility. It was stated in an October 12, 2016 email on the nginx mailing list/forums by Maxim Dounin that from a package maintenance point of view, it would be a good idea to add this option to NGINX builds. I don't see this being done in the current rules. Would it be possible to add --with-compat to the debian/rules file for future package versions?
