nTh among all

Just bundled it into copr, so now there’s a yum repo for fedora 20, 21, 22 and rawhide & CentOS 6+7 – copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/kyl191/nginx-pagespeed/

Amusingly, Rawhide changed the ABI, which the configure script had problems with. But I found a solution, which is going into ngx_pagespeed – github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/issues/942. Documentation fix until the code is brought up to the newer C++ standard.

TodoDone:

• Fix up the config file – centOS 6 doesn’t like the uncommented pid file set to /run/pid; – default for systemd, doesn’t exist for init
  fixed by commenting out the pid declaration in the config file
• Add pagespeed-by-default config file (copying from developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/configuration) Added config file, automatically gets included by virtue of being in /etc/nginx/conf.d
• Rewrite spec to conflict with the base nginx Obsoletes nginx < 1.7.0, conflicts with nginx >= 1.7.0
• Create the pagespeed cache folder as part of the install (specified by FileCachePath, normally /var/ngx_pagespeed_cache)Done as part of .spec file

Also fixed a SELinux boolean needing to be set – ngx_pagespeed needs the httpd_execmem permission

Things that helped:

• Running rpmbuild without the rigid in-root-of-home-directory structure: rpmbuild -bs --define "_topdir $(pwd)" nginx-pagespeed.spec
• Running mock with --no-cleanup-after and --no-clean, so I could investigate the build directory (located at /var/lib/mock/<release>/root/build/BUILD, or at least along those lines)

Spec files are now in a git repo as well: github.com/kyl191/nginx-specs
