Any chance of coordinating with Debian and Ubuntu to get up-to-date packages into the official Debian and Ubuntu repositories?<p>Ubuntu has a backports repository which would be an appropriate venue for the latest and greatest of nginx, phusion passenger, etc.
It would be really nice if they had a plain http version of the repo. The reason is, if I include the HTTPS repo in my deployment script, and it's the first time I've run it on a new Debian server, it fails to do an apt-get update because apt-transport-https isn't installed yet.<p>What with package signing, having an HTTPS repo is kind of pointless.
Certainly off topic, but I'm curious if anyone has experience running Python apps under passenger. Loved Passenger when I was deploying Rails apps and would like to hear people's thoughts on it for Python.
