# ngx_brotli static module - used to serve pre-compressed files.
# Both ngx_brotli modules could be used separately, but part of nginx-module-brotli package
# You possibly don't need libbrotli for ngx_brotli, dependency removed since nginx 1.11.7, but libbrotli package will be saved in repository

Note: Use only modules you need to use. With dynamic modules this is pretty easy.

I want to add my or someone's nginx module to nginx-hda-bundle/ppa.

Module should be dynamic!
Fast-way: Pull request with changes, better if module will be as git submodule. Don't forget to change rules file and create install rules for module.
Slower way: Create issue request with module description and link to module, and I'll do it myself in spare time.

Where I can find PPA?

PPA located here You can add it with

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hda-me/nginx-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx nginx-module-name-you-wish

Build hacks

Change buildtype for Release in ngx_pagespeed config file, to use master version.

Q: Why you switched from stable to mainline builds?

Nginx mainline builds more stable now, and its easier to receive news about new mainline release, even before source is available on nginx.org from nginx mailing list. Stable nginx versions releases became even less frequent, and a lot fixes not imported in stable version, only critical and secure fixes. Main reason I used stable version before, was lifecycle and modules support. But since most 3-rd party modules are dynamic now, is not crucial even if some module will break.
