Hi folks!

Will there be a Varnish repo for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial soon?
I would like to use Varnish 4.0 with Ubuntu 16.04, but the Ubuntu repo only provides 4.1 in the universe section.
I would prefer 4.0 from varnish-cache.org<http://varnish-cache.org>, but currently I can only find the Trusty repo URL:
* https://www.varnish-cache.org/releases/install_ubuntu.html#install-ubuntu

THX, Georg

The Trusty (14.04) packages should work fine on Xenial. AFAIK there are no plans to provide native packages for Xenial unless there is a compelling reason to do so. Could you try the Trusty packages and report any problems here, please?


Cheers,

Per.
THX for the answer, what I did was:
* Install varnish 4.1 from Ubuntu repos to get systemd files in /lib/systemd
* Removed varnish 4.1
* Install varnish 4.0 from varnish-cache (trusty packages installed fine)
* Adjust startup values in /lib/systemd varnish service files as systemd does not honor /etc/default/varnish like /etc/init.d/varnish did
* Start varnish via systemd

Just in case anyone needs to run varnish with systemd and is puzzled why /etc/default/varnish does not take into account.

All the best, Georg
