nginx newer than 1.26.X ignores dav_ext module

[Kyeno]

Hey!

As the topic says.
According to my experiments, any www-servers/nginx newer than (0) 1.26.3-r2^t
totally ignores dav_ext directive in NGINX_MODULES_HTTP: defined in /etc/portage/package.use/*

My only way to keep WebDAV alive was to manually package.mask any newer version.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Code: Select all

www-servers/nginx aio http3 threads xslt nginx_modules_http_xslt NGINX_MODULES_HTTP: "v2 v3 access auth_basic autoindex brotli -browser charset -empty_gif fastcgi -geo -grpc gzip gzip_static limit_conn limit_req -lua map memcached -mirror proxy -referer rewrite -scgi -split_clients -ssi upstream_hash upstream_ip_hash upstream_keepalive upstream_least_conn upstream_zone userid -uwsgi -addition -auth_ldap -auth_pam -auth_request brotli cache_purge dav dav_ext degradation echo -fancyindex -flv -geoip -geoip2 -gunzip gzip_static headers_more image_filter -javascript -memc -metrics -mogilefs -mp4 -naxsi perl -push_stream -random_index realip -secure_link -security -slice -slowfs_cache -spdy -sticky -stub_status -sub upload_progress -upstream_check -vhost_traffic_status xslt"

Thanks!

First, using quotes in package.use doesn't do what you expect

Next, Most of the external extensions were removed in the redesign of nginx to use a new eclass and broken out to their own builds.

Install www-nginx/ngx-dav-ext with newer nginx for the old dav_ext USE in older www-servers/nginx

Other USE that triggered modules are also in the www-nginx category
