Dear Ondřej,

first things first: Thanks for your exceptional work on providing all of these fine packages to the community.

Just today we recognized that you are also into building Nginx packages instead of PHP only. Great thing! Have you always been doing that, actually?

So, I would like to tell our story here: Recently, we had to leave Nginx packages from http://packages.dotdeb.org/ behind, as we upgraded one of our machines straight from Debian jessie to buster (sigh, it was time!). We chose them because they included the ngx_http_auth_ldap_module referenced by @stamepicmorg.

In that manner, may we also humbly ask you to consider adding this module for your next rounds of Nginx builds?

With kind regards and keep up the spirit, Andreas.

Unfortunately I could not wait to consider my request and was forced to choose another solution - migrated to my own nginx compiled by myself with additional modules.

I'm not sure if this is the right choice, but so far it covers all my needs.

But I still hope that they will respond to this request. That would be great anyway.

Regards.
