nginx with OpenSSL 1.0.2 (ALPN) on CentOS 7, also available from https://brouken.com/brouken-centos-7-repo/

### No longer needed as of nginx-1.13.6-1.el7_4.ngx.x86_64.rpm from nginx.org
### it was compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.2 from CentoOS 7.4 so it supports ALPN (HTTP2 works)

@it-can nginx.org introduced extra compiler and linker arguments in 1.11.9. That affects OpenSSL but I guess it would take just properly configure/make OpenSSL and/or update the right single flag but my knowledge of rpm and building is very little. I don't have time for learning related things or experimenting so it's just compiled the same way as previous versions (wild guess it's "just" some hardening). (RHEL/CentOS 7.4 will bring OpenSSL 1.0.2 anyway.)

Nginx-more is basically nginx stable release

Thank you for making this available. My current Nginx and OpenSSL are installed via the regular Yum. Nginx is thus the latest stable 1.10.3. I'm happy to upgrade it to the above, but it would be good to have Yum-updatable in the future, so that I don't have to jump through the same hoops in the future. Is this possible, or do I completely move away from the Yum system by executing with this script?

Great!

thank you!

If it helps anybody I added a Dockerfile to build this from any other distro https://gist.github.com/nicolasazrak/e96f707e6ba816d31e438aa2e58f27ff#file-dockerfile
It was really useful for me because I use a vps with low memory and could not build it there. So with the docker.sh script I could build it in my pc and then uploaded to the CentOS server.
