[Pkg-varnish-devel] Bug#860107: varnish: shm_reclen parameter is not honoured

[Christos Trochalakis]

Package: varnish
Version: 5.0.0-7
Severity: normal

Hello,

Since Varnish 4.1.1 the shm_reclen varnishd param was no longer honoured
as an alias for vsl_reclen. This was fixed today in the upstrem master
branch.

The patch is still quite fresh, but it might make sense to include it
in stretch to ease the transition for Varnish 4.0 (jessie) users. In
jessie shm_reclen is properly handled.
