question about packaging

Hello.

I've packaged up mod pagespeed for nginx. (see https://launchpad.net/~eilander/+archive/ubuntu/nginx , not tested yet)

Questions:

• Are there any benefits for building PSOL from source?
• Can I use the git master with the latest PSOL binary?

With kind regards, Thijs Eilander

That's awesome. FYI we have been drafting a new mod_pagespeed release over at http://people.apache.org/~oschaaf/mod_pagespeed/1.14.36.1-rc2/ That is equivalent to what is on mod_pagespeed's master right now with a few changes from the release process to update versions. The working branch for that is /36.

The mod_pagespeed release process can be found here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-mod/wiki/Release-Process The ngx_pagespeed release process can be found here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx/wiki/creating-a-release

ngx_pagespeed yet needs to be tagged yet, but I only want to do that after we complete the process. Past experience has learned that people would consider it a release when doing that to earlier, and we don't want a software-release to turn into a software-escape :-)

In any case, the rc-artifacts I linked earlier may serve as a good starting point for your efforts. If you do use them, please don't mention Apache/incubator yet, because these aren't approved artifacts, and that would mislead people to believe so.

(The release candidate also has the source tarball that would become the first official apache incubator release if it makes it through review).

See my testing area https://launchpad.net/~eilander/+archive/ubuntu/testing/ It builds fine with master and the psol release you linked.

Will test it tomorrow on a production server
