The Varnish Cache project recently released varnish-4.1.3 and varnish-modules-0.9.1. Of course, we want updated RPMs for Fedora and EPEL.

While there are official packages for EL6 and EL7, I tend to like to use my Fedora downstream package, also for EPEL. So I have pushed updates for Fedora, and updated copr builds for EPEL5, EPEL6, and EPEL7.

An update of the official supported bundle of varnish modules, varnish-modules-0.9.1, was also released a few weeks ago. I did recently wrap it for Fedora, and am waiting for its review in BZ #1324863 Packages for EPEL5, EPEL6, and EPEL7 are in copr as well.

Fedora updates for varnish-4.1.3 may be found at https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=varnish

My varnish-4.1.x Copr repositories for EPEL are here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ingvar/varnish41/

Test and reports are very welcome.

Using this functionality in make as an all-round tool for command running as well, is considered common practice. Yes, you could write Shell scripts for this instead and they would be probably equally good. But using make has its own charm (and gets you karma points).
