We (Lasse, Ingvar, ssm and myself) recently had a productive workshop/brainstorming regarding vmod packaging going forward. It ended up also being about general packaging of Varnish.
Since I saw repo.varnish-cache.org mentioned in the "Varnish project autumn cleaning" thread, I figured I'd update the -dev community with the parts of the outcome of those talks as they are highly relevant. In short: - There will be vmod packages for numerous vmods. They will not end up in repo.varnish-cache.org, but in official packaging and sites such as backports.debian.org. (And a PPA-like alternative for RHEL/EPEL - the details are left to Ingvar on that one). - Packaging of newer versions of Varnish will also be done in the same style. - 'repo.varnish-cache.org' will gradually become less important as the functions it has served will be gradually moved to more official locations. None of this will happen over night of course. Proper announcements and schedules and whatnot will be posted as they as they are established. I know Ingvar has begun work already [1] and I expect similar from ssm soon enough. This is still work in progress and as such not an official announcement of any kind. The motivation is simple: Reduce duplicated efforts and ensure the QA is as good as we can get it for the packaging. Since Ingvar and ssm have been packaging Varnish since about Varnish 1.0, I don't think we could ask for anyone better suited.
