Bug Description

Binary package hint: nginx

The latest release of Nginx in Debian unstable (0.8.54-4) fixes the following bugs that exist in the version that Ubuntu 11.04 currently provides (0.8.53-2).

Please consider passing this through the freeze. A few features were made but most of the changes were bug fixes.

Debian bugs:
#610946
#609343
#608983
#610289
#610290
#609797
#610983
#612832
#613175
#613355
#613851
#614987
#614980
#609254
#609134
#609411
#608633
#607418
#606094
#598461

Launchpad bugs:
#699736
#694456

Most of these were minor. However, a few cause significant usability issues.

The difference between the two versions of Nginx consist mostly of bug fixes (only only small feature).
    *) Change: now nginx uses a default listen backlog value -1 on
       Linux.
    *) Feature: the "utf8" parameter of "geoip_country" and "geoip_city"
       directives.
    *) Bugfix: in a default "proxy_redirect" directive if "proxy_pass"
       directive has no URI part.
    *) Bugfix: an "error_page" directive did not work with nonstandard
       error codes; the bug had appeared in 0.8.53.

When installing this version new or upgrading from an old version it's just basic information and no errrors. I don't have a system I can use at the moment to test it.

Also.. PPA of what is in that exact version can be viewed here: https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable
Please ignore that the past version numbers were wrong. I spaced once and have to deal with it until -5 comes out.

If the reverse depends are not affected, then syncing 0.8.54-4 from
Debian makes perfect sense. I don't think that the rdepends are
affected but I would like to be sure of this before approving.

What about the rdepends? Are those affected by this upgrade of nginx?
Are there any risks of regressions?

If the reverse depends are not affected, then syncing 0.8.54-4 from
Debian makes perfect sense. Even though I don't think that the rdepends
are affected, I still want to be sure of this before approving.

As far as I can test, no rdepends are affected by the change. The parts I'm not
able to test I couldn't imagine caring about a different binary as long as it's
installed in the correct location.
