Description:
As nginx 1.11 begins, the officials introduced dynamic module loading, which can drastically decrease the default compiled package to a minimal overhead. There are already plenty of AUR packages providing the dynamic modules for use, maybe we can utilize them instead? References: https://www.nginx.com/blog/dynamic-modules-nginx-1-9-11/ Additional info: * package version(s) 1.11.4-1 * config and/or log files etc. > Packages (3) geoip-1.6.6-2 geoip-database-20160907-1 nginx-mainline-1.11.4-1 > > Total Download Size: 1.41 MiB > Total Installed Size: 4.24 MiB Steps to reproduce: Through pacman to install nginx-mainline, and you will find it default with installing geoip packages. This is unnecessary at all and should not be exist in the default package. |
