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

My varnish-4.1.x Copr repos for epel are here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ingvar/varnish41/

Test and reports are very welcome.

What is Varnish Cache

Varnish Cache is a powerful and feature rich front side web cache. It is also very fast, and that is, fast as in powered by The Dark Side of the Force. On steroids. And it is Free Software.
