nginx dynamic module tooling

This set of tools is used to create installable packages of dynamic modules for nginx and can be used following the instructions at https://www.nginx.com/blog/creating-installable-packages-dynamic-modules/.

This repository is manually mirrored from https://hg.nginx.org/pkg-oss using https://github.com/schacon/hg-git and has been extended in a variety of ways. The mirror will be updated periodically, but is done manually so YMMV at any given point in time.

Note that toolchain changes only affect the RPM build; Debian is not supported here.

Changes from upstream

• Added this README.
• build_module.sh clones this pkg-oss repository using git rather than hg from the original nginx repository.
• Change URLs to be https://. Ensures packages and more get downloaded over a secure connection. Note only the script-used URLs are changed; documentation and package descriptions are left alone for ease of merging. (reported at https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/1335)

Management

Creating the mirror

1. Install hg-git via https://github.com/schacon/hg-git#installing

2. Clone the repo and create the Git counterpart:

   hg clone http://hg.nginx.org/pkg-oss
   mkdir nginx-pkg-oss && cd nginx-pkg-oss
   git init && cd ..

3. Push from hg to Git and checkout:

   cd pkg-oss
   hg bookmarks hg
   hg push ../nginx-pkg-oss
   cd ../nginx-pkg-oss
   git checkout -b master hg

4. Push to GitHub:

   git remote add origin [email protected]:jcu-eresearch/nginx-pkg-oss.git
   git push -u origin master

Keeping this up to date

1. Pull from hg and push to git; this process will update the hg bookmark we set up earlier (which becomes the hg branch in Git):

   cd pkg-oss
   hg pull && hg update
   hg push ../nginx-pkg-oss

2. Rebase in git:

   cd ../nginx-pkg-oss
   git rebase -i hg
   # Fix anything that needs adjustment
   git push
