Linux – how to get latest nginx using apt – ubuntu

Install dpkg-dev:

sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev

Add repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx-stable-lucid.list, add dpkg-src:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu lucid main

note: (the previous step may have already been automatically performed on Ubuntu >= 12.04 - also make sure that you change lucid to reflect your version)

Resynchronize the package index files:

sudo apt-get update

Get sources:

apt-get source nginx

Build dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep nginx

Edit nginx-0.8.54/debian/rules:

config.status.full: config.env.full config.sub config.guess
...
--add-module=path/to/nginx_uploadprogress_module

Build package:

cd nginx-0.8.54 && dpkg-buildpackage -b

Install packages:

sudo dpkg --install nginx-common_1.2.4-2ubuntu0ppa1~precise_all.deb

sudo dpkg --install nginx-full_1.2.4-2ubuntu0ppa1~precise_amd64.deb

I think that

apt-cache policy percona-server-server

is what you need. It will provide the information about the installed version and if there are other candidates to install. It will also tell you from which repositories the packages came from.

You might use the same command with a wildcard, like:

apt-cache policy percona*
