Re: ATS 5 on Debian

[Juan Pablo Daniel <jp...@gmail.com>]

Hi again!
I'm trying to use the backport ;) ;) but I need the ats cpp api , do you
think its possible to compile it and create a new (extra) deb for it?
so i can install trafficserver and trafficserver-libcpp or something ?

If I can contribute to anything here I'll do my best.

Thanks you.

Saludos,
Juan Pablo.
