Release for Varnish 6? about libvmod-querystring HOT 8 CLOSED

There's one documentation bit I'd like to polish before cutting a new release.

Also it may take some time since I'll need to double-check that the VMOD indeed builds against advertised versions, RPM and Deb packaging still works, and right now I have little time for that. Usually I take care of this faster when we release a breaking Varnish major but these days are packed :(

I'm glad this vmod is helping you. Don't hesitate to star the repository and most importantly open issues if anything could be added or improved in your opinion.

Sure thing! If I may, what OS/Release matrixes are you targeting?

from libvmod-querystring.

I'm targeting all releases since Varnish 4.1.3 according to the README, and it should work from a release archive built against at least Varnish 5.1.1, and I want to ensure that Debs/RPMs build fine against the Varnish 6 official packages because they changed substantially :)

I need a couple distraction-free hours to check all that. Can you roll with a build from the master branch for now? Otherwise I can upload a temporary release archive from current master.

Oh, no worries. I wasn't trying to rush. I figured I'd ask as, while I don't expect to have any such deliverable/PR, I've been trying to find good ways to automate build testing for another one of my projects, and having more context as to other practical uses is always beneficial in striving to figure out how best to implement such a project :)

Hey, I wanted to check on the status of this. Not trying to put pressure on a rush to release, but it looks like the old Varnish 5.2.1 package was mostly removed from Alpine's package manager, so anyone trying to build fresh from there will have to use v6.

Sorry about that, I have little to no free time to allocate to software maintenance these days and this vmod isn't part of my day job. You should be able to build an RPM with the following steps until a proper release is out:

• check out master
• install build-from-git dependencies
• ./bootstrap && make dist

And then you have a release-like tarball you can build an RPM from.

I decided to take advantage of new Varnish 6 features for VMOD documentation and it appears to be working fine. I also successfully built RPMs and Debs for Fedora Rawhide and Debian Sid. Then I could successfully check the expected success or failure building a release archive against all Varnish releases installed on my system (most of them since Varnish 3).

So far, looking good. Travis CI will yell at me because I forgot to require Varnish 6 though.

1.0.5 is out, enjoy :)
