[Slackbuilds-users] nginx maintainer

[Klaatu]

I hear what you're saying, Doogster, but is that really an issue with
the Slackbuild? It looks like that is the way Nginx distributes itself,
and Slack{ware,Builds.org} policy, I believe, is to not change the
upstream package unless not doing so will result in the thing literally
not launching or being functional on Slackware.

I realise that you may be making the argument that it is not functional
without being changed, and I can see what you mean. However, I use Nginx
on a few different servers, and on one I do change it to match the
htdocs webroot, but on others I change it to something else entirely.

Bottom line is, if the SBo maintainer patches the config file for me,
I'm just going to have to unpatch it later to suit however I have it set
up on any given box.

This is one of the things that drives me nuts about Debian and Red Hat;
they change the defaults from something I'm going to have to change, to
something else I'm going to have to change...


tl;dr
Not flaming you or disrespecting your opinion, just wondering if it's
really correct to patch the config from the point of install, or whether
a simple note in the README to remind the user "hey! you need to
configure this!") and maybe even a link to your blogpost so that new sys
admins might have some sensible example of what a good config would look
like.
