Description Marcin Mirosław 2014-08-13 08:22:57 UTC

Hi,
I just noticed that nginx branch 1.4.x was removed from tree (CVE-2014-3556) and nginx branch 1.7.x was marked as stable.
Branch 1.6.x is called as "stable" by upstream and branch 1.7 is called as "mainline". Meseems "mainline" may be called also as development branch.
What do you think to have nginx-1.6.x in tree marked as stable (similary to upstream naming) and nginx-1.7.x keyworded as ~arch ?


Reproducible: Always

Agostino Sarubbo, This makes absolutely no sense at all. Why was this bug closed? 
This is not some exotic application out of the wild, it is nginx a well know webservers used on thousands of sites.

Please add 1.6 as stable and 1.7 as unstable.
