To gain actual value from varnish, you may want to move the listening
port to port 80, and your webserver to 8080 or similar.

Running with jemalloc on ppc or ppc64 on fedora: Edit and recompile
===================================================================
To get a package through to Fedora, it has to build in Red Hat's Koji
build environment. Their ppc and ppc64 builders run mock on a RHEL
ppc64 kernel. Our use of jemalloc does not work on this kernel, and
the build stays unsuccessful. As ppc64 is not the primary target of
varnish development, it may take some time to get this bug fixed.
To get the package through to Fedora, jemalloc is disabled in the ppc
and ppc64 builds.

Now, varnish with jemalloc enabled is known to work at least on the
ppc (32bit) kernel in Fedora 9. If you run on ppc, and have a workload
that suits jemalloc better, you might want to change the specfile and
recompile. We would very much like feedback from anyone running
varnish on Fedora's own ppc64 kernel.

Building a RPM package from SVN

===============================
You may build the package from a svn checkout. Follow the instructions

source. Then enter the trunk directory and edit
