Hi there,

I think this has been discussed at committee meetings before: nginx's procedure of immediately dropping a release series when a new one hits the stable branches is essentially forcing us to upgrade along with it, unless someone is willing to backport patches.

I personally am not willing to do backports as I do not use EL7 at this point and only continue maintaining the package as a courtesy to the community.

I therefor intend to make the following changes to the nginx package in EPEL7:
- Update to 1.20.0
- build against OpenSSL 1.1 to enable TLS1.3 support

Do I require additional permission do move forward with this in this manner?
There should not be any breaking changes or incompatible changes to config syntax. But I'll admit that I do not have complex config scenarios as testcases.

EPEL8 is not affected as nginx doesn't have an EPEL build for EL8. It is maintained upstream. There are, however, modules with certain streams (1.18 and mainline, for example) available from EPEL.

Regards,
Felix
