Bug 363573 – Add mod_h264_streaming to >=www-servers/nginx-1.0.0

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Christian Bricart 2011-04-14 11:32:43 UTC]

this patch adds yet another third party module to nginx - i.e "mod_h264_streaming"


patch applies to current =www-servers/nginx-1.0.0


Reproducible: Always




I'm not actually sure how to add the correct license tag to the ebuild, as it' under Dual licence..

I have added attachments for NGINX 1.0.5 including the original NGINX ebuild, and a .patch file.

Since version 1.0.8 nginx has a builtin mp4 module. The third-party module is not needed anymore.

Unfortunatey, in Gentoo, only the ebuilds for enginx 1.1.x expose the builtin mp4 module with a USE-flag. But fixing the nginx 1.0.10.ebuild is easy. Just add "mp4" to the ebuild variable NGINX_MODULES_OPT.

[Comment 8 Christian Bricart 2011-11-23 17:28:27 UTC]

ah - I've seen the new flag. have not actually looked if this upstream module does equal things.. ;-)
But this forum post of Igor Sysoev seems to clarify:

http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,215011,215740#msg-215740

So it *does* actually replace the 3rd-party module and it's actively maintained and not as "dead-upstream" as the mod_h264_streaming-Module mentioned here..

So the bug may me closed with WORKSFORME ;-)

Thanks anyway

i've added the mp4 use flag to 1.0.10, thanks for noticing!
