Update nginx > 1.19.4

Hi everyone !

I'm running Chimaera and I would like to update my nginx to >= 1.19.4

When running https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/poli … x&x=submit I get:

nginx

1.22.1-9
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres/main amd64
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus/main amd64

1.18.0-6.1+deb11u3
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/main amd64
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/main i386

So it's seem that 1.22.1-9 is ready for the next Devuan release ( I can't wait )

But how can I update my Chimaera to a version above 1.19.4 ?

Thanks

Re: Update nginx > 1.19.4

BTW I followed those instructions

Installing a Prebuilt Debian Package from the Official NGINX Repository

but when I do an sudo apt update

i get

Hello:

... running Chimaera and I would like to update my nginx to >= 1.19.4
... how can I update my Chimaera to a version above 1.19.4 ?

Consider waiting till the new version becomes available in the Chimaera repository?
Or maybe gets backported?

... followed those instructions ...
Installing a Prebuilt Debian Package ...

Debian package ≠ Devuan package.
Installing a package from a Debian repository to a Devuan installation is, more often than not, a source of grief and/or problems.
There is a reason for the existence of Devuan repositories.

... from the Official NGINX Repository ...

The NGINX Repository, official or not, is not a Debian or Devuan repository.
Noob or not, one thing you should know by now is that installing from foreign repositories is not advisable. ;^°

That said ...

Just what is it about the next version of nginx that is taking you down this path?
Is there a severe security problem involved?
If that's the case, be sure that a patched version will be available very soon.

Is there some essential functionality you need?
Do bear in mind that latest versions are not necessarily better.
Or as tested by its users as previous ones have been since the last release.

And as such, not necessarily bugless.

Best,

A.

Hello. Did you imported an official nginx signing key so apt could verify the packages authenticity?
