nginx will now use sites-available and sites-enabled



Package: nginx

In order to provide a simpler way to handle virtual hosts and
site-specific configuration, the nginx package for the Debian system
will use the sites-available/ and sites-enabled/ directories starting
from 0.5.18-1 (about to be uploaded to Sid)

If you haven't configured nginx to your exact needs, it's safe to
overwrite the old configuration with the new one, since it's backwards
compatible. However, note that dpkg will respect your current
configuration file by default, though it will create the
sites-available/ and sites-enabled/ directories with the default
configuration.

You can migrate to the newer configuration handling model at any time
just by moving your server directives to sites-available/ and making a
symbolic link to it in sites-enabled/

Users from the Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (Etch) distribution should not take
any specific actions now, since the packages shipped in 4.0 will use the
old single-configuration-file approach.

Please report any bugs or problems, and thank you for your interest in
nginx and Debian,
