I would like to propose enabling nginx random index module ( http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_random_index_module.html ).

While not often required, it can be extremely useful whenever serving a random file from a directory is required, especially if said directory regularly updated.

There is no simple alternatives that don't involve external implementations, whole scripting engines or enumerating every file in configuration individually, which may not be feasible on large file counts or frequent changes.

Simply adding --with-http_random_index_module to ABS PKGBUILD is sufficient, but without standardized methods of customizing upstream PKGBUILDs on user side during updates, it renders the process cumbersome and updates risky, with high likelihood of temporary downtimes, hence this feature request, to avoid the need altogether.
