[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Concerns about NGINX in Debian

[Thomas Ward]

I would be glad to join the team!  I didn't see *how* to join the team, though... no documentation was able to be found on that.

Let me know what I need to do to join the team and help!

Hi Thomas,

Feel free to join the team and help us. New people are always welcome :)

I don't see the point of the Salvaging __team__ package with a "welcome new members" policy.

I don't wish to be a nag or anything, however I have some grave concerns with how the NGINX package is being handled in Debian.

Not only did it take months to address the Lua bug that broke the package and threatened to remove the packaging in Testing, the subsequent FTBFS that blocks the -8 upgrade went ignored for 14 days before I went checking, and subsequently filed [1] has been unignored for ~18 days according to the tracker.

I know that Debian nginx team is busy, however this is one of those packages that should PROBABLY not drop off of your radars.

The last time that the package had issues that went unaddressed for months, I was highly tempted to go the Package Salvage route, and then subsequently involve the MIA team because this package is used by so many and needs to be maintained - not just because downstream users in Ubuntu like it, but because nginx has a SUBSTANTIAL share of the httpd servers being used right now live.

Is there anything I can do to assist you in the process of keeping an eye on NGINX?  Is there anything that you need to keep maintaining this given that it seems that the actual NGINX team is extraordinarily *small* and potentially unable to maintain the package to the standards it needs?


Thomas
