varnish-4.1.3 and varnish-modules-0.9.1 for fedora and epel

The Varnish Cache project recently released varnish-4.1.3 and varnish-modules-0.9.1. Of course, we want updated rpms for Fedora and EPEL.

While there are official packages for el6 and el7, I tend to like to use my Fedora downstream package, also for EPEL. So I have pushed updates for Fedora, and updated copr builds for epel5, epel6, and epel7.

An update of the official supported bundle of varnish modules, varnish-modules-0.9.1, was also released a few weeks ago. I did recently wrap it for Fedora, and am waiting for its review in BZ #1324863. Packages for epel5, epel6, and epel7 are in copr as well.

Fedora updates for varnish-4.1.3 may be found at https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=varnish

The Copr repos for epel are here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ingvar/varnish41/

Test and reports are very welcome.

    It would be nice if the varnishlog and varnishncsa services worked by default. They need tmpfiles.d entries or a removal/update of the PIDFile/User/Group. To make it work:

    [Service]
    RuntimeDirectory=varnishlog
    Type=forking
    PIDFile=/run/varnishlog.pid
    #PIDFile=/run/varnishlog/varnishlog.pid
    #User=varnish
    #Group=varnish
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/varnishlog -a -w /var/log/varnish/varnish.log -D -P /run/varnishlog.pid
    #ExecStart=/usr/bin/varnishlog -a -w /var/log/varnish/varnish.log -D -P /run/varnishlog/varnishlog.pid
    ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

    No, they shouldn’t need tmpfiles.d, as they have RuntimeDirectory set, and systemd will create the necessary tempfiles when started. Your problem is probably that varnish.log is owned by root, from an earlier version. See rhbz #1371181. This should be fixed in varnish-4.1.3-5, in fedora updates-testing now.
