What about it, should we apply it or remove it?
Comment 4 Jan Engelhardt 2013-11-07 08:02:16 UTC
The JIT needs to be disabled for varnish >= 3.0.3 (openSUSE 12.3, 13.1).

The JIT patch is not needed in varnish <= 3.0.2 as it won't even apply. (11.4/12.2). If it is in the srpm nevertheless, no big deal. Just a unused file then.
Comment 5 Benjamin Brunner 2013-11-15 09:46:55 UTC
Update released for openSUSE 12.2, 12.3 and 13.1. Resolved fixed.
