Package Varnish with VMODs

What is this?

This script will create a Debian/Ubuntu package for Varnish Cache Server with many VMODs compiled in.

The tasty stuff is in varnish_installer.rb - script. It will generate a rather lengthy bash script with all the necessary steps to:

- install dependencies,
- download sources,
- configure them,
- install,
- preparing all the specified VMODs
- and wrapping it up in a delicious and lightweight package, that is very easy to install.

For the unpacient:

$ apt-get install gdebi-core
$ wget http://optimate.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mindreframerpackages/varnish-3.0.4.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb
$ gdebi -n varnish-3.0.4.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb
# get the list of installed VMODs
$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/varnish/vmods
