Why not just use apt-get source to get the source package of nginx; wget the latest nginx; copy the debian/ directory from the source package <br>

The reported procedure is a faster and gets the job done rather well.</blockquote><div><br>Neither procedure is any faster than the other (both can be scripted down to one invocation and the configure/build process will take the same amount of time!), but the original method *appears* to get the job done rather well - if you don't care about possibly breaking your debian installation.<br>
<br>Personally, I like things to be easy to inspect/add/remove/update with the tools that are built into the distrobution. This is not to say your method is "wrong" or even that it will break anything; I merely offer another way to do things more in-line with the way other things are done in the distrobution.<br>
<br>$ dpkg -l | grep nginx<br>ii nginx 0.7.44-1 small, but very powerful and efficient web server<br> <br>I bet yours still says 0.6.32-3.<br><br>- Merlin</div></div><br>
