No SPDY support in the official repository packages

Server NGINX
#1

Hi,

Nginx 1.4.0 added support for SPDY to the stable version, so my question
is
why is SPDY not enabled in the packages from the Nginx official
repository?

I’m explicitely talking about the Centos packages, I haven’t tried
others.

Regards,
Strahinja

SPDY support is enabled for systems where OpenSSL 1.0.1+ is available.

Since RHEL 6.5 it does support OpenSSL 1.0.1e. Can you compile next
packages
with SPDY enabled?

It would be awesome if the repository would host two versions of the
nginx
package, one with SPDY for 6.5+ and one without it for older versions.

You would need to build two versions, but it would be extremely easy to
add
this support, you would just need to create symbolic links 6.1, 6.2, 6.3
and
6.4 to point to directory 6 (for the non-SPDY version) on this URL
http://nginx.org/packages/centos/6/, and create a new directory 6.5
which
will host the version with SPDY.

You would also need to change the nginx.repo from:

http://nginx.org/packages/centos/6/$basearch/

to:

http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/

This may be obvious, but as such, the OpenSSL 1.0.1e package is
available to virtually all CentOS 6.x via the official yum repos, so
it’s not just for CentOS 6.5 (technically).

I would just like to confirm that Nginx 1.6.0 packages for Centos 6 are
compiled with SPDY support.
