OMG the nginx modules ecosystem is such mess :-(

That's just because you insist on including a bunch of Unofficial modules from unreliable sources. This module, in particular, is a feature included in Nginx Plus (the paid version of Nginx). It's not the most ethical decision to include this package from a third party just for people who don't want to pay for it.

And don't take me wrong, I really appreciate all the work you're doing here every day!

1. That just proves my point
2. I am not really insisting. I would be a happy bee if I just stopped packaging nginx completely.

BTW I also need to express that my sympathies towards F5 can be only with expressed as 0K(elvin).

@oerdnj it seems like you are being forced to do all this Nginx work against your will! :)

If it makes you feel better, Nginx now has its own repo with "prebuilt packages". Of course, these only include "official" modules.
