Nginx-mainline-extras version mismatch

Q&A

I’d like to enable brotli compression in nginx-mainline, but when I do so I see the following error message. It seems nginx-mainline-extras needs to be rebuilt in order to match nginx-mainline.

   [emerg] 44127#44127: module "/var/www/modules/ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so" version 1017004 instead of 1017007 in /etc/nginx-mainline/nginx.conf:1

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve pushed updates to the mainline modules.

This just happened again on Clear Linux version 32210.

ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so" version 1017007 instead of 1017008 in /etc/nginx-mainline

Same here, my web server is down again due to mismatch between these packages.

Updates should not be pushed for nginx-mainline until nginx-mainline-extras is pushed out simultaneously, or this problem will keep happening. At this rate it will be impossible to use nginx-mainline-extras on a production server and I will be forced to build nginx myself, or switch to a different distribution.

I’ve writen a test to try and prevent this from getting released in the future. Hopefully this will stop the breakage pattern.

Thanks for adding the test. Did you also push updates to the mainline modules?

Yes, we both actually did, so, they were updated twice (lol).

Something must be wrong with the test as this just occurred again.

ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so" version 1017009 instead of 1019002 in /etc/nginx-mainline
