PPAs Updates
BCC & libbpf
Latest versions of BCC (v0.22.0) and
libbpf (v0.5.0) are now
available from the bpftrace
PPA1 for bionic,
focal and hirsute:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hadret/bpftrace
sudo apt update
sudo apt install bpftrace bpfcc-tools libbpf
Right now bionic builds of bpftrace are still done using LLVM9 which means
that they are still affected by the Accessing pointers broken on LLVM
<12 bug. I did however port
LLVM12 to Launchpad and was able to build bpftrace for bionic with it. Fixed
version will require some additional dependencies though and I had no time yet
for proper testing.
Additionally all the latest builds are now also available for arm64
architecture.
NGINX Extended
Latest builds in stable
for bionic, focal and hirsute followed the tracks of official Ubuntu
builds and dropped Lua module:
Remove the Lua modules from NGINX (Server Team Decision) - future support for Lua module now requires resty-core from OpenResty, meaning that if we want to continue to support the Lua module, we have to start becoming OpenResty - users should just use OpenResty at this point for Lua.
The package naming has been aligned with latest, upcoming changes as seen in
Debian: nginx-full has been dropped and nginx-extras should now be used for
installing all available modules:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hadret/nginx
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx-extras
Mainline has
finally been updated to follow 1.21.x branch, builds for bionic, focal and
hirsute are up for the taking:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hadret/nginx-mainline
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install nginx-extras
Here as well arm64 builds are now available – also from the Docker
hub:2
docker run hadret/nginx-extended:latest
Test all the things
Finally, I published my docker-compose setup for quick testing for the packages I build for the PPA. Be sure to check it out on GitHub: docker-compose-tests.
