#65139: nginx: Update long description
------------------------+------------------------
Reporter: ryandesign | Owner: neverpanic
Type: defect | Status: assigned
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: nginx
------------------------+------------------------
The nginx port's long description has not been modified since the port was
added in 2007. Some of it is now anachronistic or in other need of
updates:
{{{
long_description \
Nginx ("engine x") is a high-performance HTTP(S) server and reverse
proxy, \
as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. Nginx was written by Igor Sysoev
for \
Rambler.ru, Russia's second-most visited website, where it has been
running \
in production for over two and a half years. Igor has released the
source \
code under a BSD-like license. Although still in beta, Nginx is known
for \
its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low
resource \
consumption.
}}}
* the reference to running in production for over 2.5 years is quite
surpassed by now, and probably that entire sentence is unnecessary
* the mention of the type of license is unnecessary, given the portfile's
`license` field
* nginx is not still in beta; the first stable version was released in
2011
