[Pkg-haproxy-maintainers] 1.5~dev23

[Apollon Oikonomopoulos]

Hi,

1.5-dev23 is out. I already updated experimental, but have not uploaded 
yet. There are a couple more things I'd like to do:

 1. Use graceful restart (instead of a full restart) on upgrade.
    This needs some attention to properly handle upgrades from 1.4 to 
    1.5, especially when systemd is involved (as our 1.4 package did not 
    support systemd).

 2. Build the HTML documentation at package build time using cbonte's 
    haproxy-dconv[1] and ship it in haproxy-doc. This also needs some 
    work to strip the bundled bootstrap and jquery libraries and 
    customize the HTML template.

Since 2 will have to go through NEW, I think we could make an upload of 
1.5~dev23-1 now without these and do a second upload when these features 
are implemented. Do you agree?

On a side note, I think we should re-think our config file policy; 
perhaps we should stop shipping an incomplete config file (as it breaks 
systemd by default) and instead ship the config with debian defaults as 
an example. Any comments/ideas welcome.

Cheers,
Apollon
