Mac - homebrewでnginxを入れるときはnginx-fullを入れよう

nginxではなくてnginx-fullを使う

homebrewではbrew install nginxとすることでnginxを入れることが出来ますが、
この標準Formulaはオプションが最低限のものしかありません。

/Users/kanno% brew options nginx
--with-debug
    Compile with support for debug log
--with-gunzip
    Compile with support for gunzip module
--with-passenger
    Compile with support for Phusion Passenger module
--with-spdy
    Compile with support for SPDY module
--with-webdav
    Compile with support for WebDAV module
--devel
    install development version 1.5.10
--HEAD
    install HEAD version

※オプション付きでインストールするにはbrew install nginx --with-spdyのようにします

本来nginxにはもっとたくさんのオプションがあります。
それらを使うためにはnginxではなくてnginx-fullというFomulaを利用します。

homebrew-nginx

インストールの仕方はREADME.mdに書いてある通りです。

brew tap marcqualie/nginx
brew install nginx-full

なぜ公式Formulaのnginxはオプションが少ないのか

「nginxのモジュール(オプション)は多すぎてメンテナンスが大変だから」

ということらしいです。
なので仮に本家にプルリクを送っても上記のnginx-fullを使ってくれと言われて却下されます。

nginx-fullはメンテナンスされているので、何かあればこちらにプルリクを送る方が良さそうです。

なお、オプションを別に使わなければどっち使っても変わらないはずです。
