[Pkg-varnish-devel] Bug#693128: varnish: Please install headers that are needed to compile vmods

[Allard Hoeve]

Package: libvarnishapi-dev
Version: 3.0.2-2
Severity: wishlist


Dear Maintainer,

The current libvarnishapi-dev currently does not have enough header
files to allow a user to compile vmods such as vmod_header.


1) Most important of these files is vmod_abi.h, that allows a user to
compile a module against a certain version of Varnish. This file is
currently missing, preventing from compiling against a Debian Varnish in
any useful way. Providing this file should be easy by means of the
install file in debian/.

2) Then there are a slew of other files that need to be installed for the
libvarnishapi-dev package to be useful. I have compiled a list that is
needed to compile libvmod-header on Debian. Other vmods need a similar
list, but I haven't tried them.

3) Finally, the script vmod.py is needed to create VCL header templates.


Please consider including vmod_abi.h and please consider providing
headers and vmod.py in future releases.


Best,

Allard Hoeve
