Package: haproxy<br>
Version: 1.5.8<br>
<br>
I'd like to request this upstream commit [0] to be included in
debian haproxy and hopefully be backported to wheezy. The rand()
function in the config is otherwise completely broken.<br>
<br>
The rand(<range>) function [1] is supposed to give random
numbers between 0 and <range>. Without this patch, it gives
random numbers between 0 and <range>/2.<br>
For example, rand(1000) will never give numbers above 500, hence
rand(2) will always give 0.<br>
<br>
I've locally built haproxy from the debian package with this patch
as last in the quilt series, it applies cleanly and works as
expected.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
