- adamc 8y agoHis point is that brotli's advantages aren't big enough to justify it until it becomes ubiquitous. Compression improvements of less than 10% just don't justify much effort to get ahead of the curve (in most situations).
- quotemstr 8y agoDoes it matter? The OP's evaluation methodology, for better or worse, is the one a big segment of the population uses to evaluate new technologies. It's critical to make sure that packaging is smooth, defaults are set reasonably, and tutorials are up to do --- otherwise, nobody's going to use your stuff no matter how good it is.
- orev 8y ago2.5 is the development branch. That should not be used in production.
- linsomniac 8y agoThe versions I was speaking of were Ubuntu 18.04 = 2.4.29, Ubuntu 16.04 = 2.4.18, mod_brotli was introduced in 2.4.26.
- linsomniac 8y agoPart of Operations is weighing new and shiny features versus the maintenance cost of supporting them. You can make an amazing amount of work for yourself by deciding you are going to run the latest and greatest, and becoming the maintainer of your own custom distribution. My shop is on the small side for deciding to bite that off though, so we try to leverage Ubuntu's expertise in doing that whenever possible.
