+2018-06-08 - Publically available packages from UPLEX
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The varnish-cache contributors from `UPLEX`_ are happy to anounce an
+alternative source for varnish binary packages for Debian, Ubuntu and
+RHEL/CentOS (work in progress).
+
+Debian/Ubuntu packges are based on fairly recent varnish-cache master
+snapshots and are expected to be updated on a bi-weekly basis,
+synchronized with the official varnish-cache weekly builds.
+
+The main purpose of the `UPLEX Packages`_ is to provide simple and
+efficient access to up-to-date varnish builds and a matching range of
+additional vmods which are not commonly found in package repositories
+like `blobdigest`_, `re`_, `re2`_, `geoip2`_ and `dcs`_ in addition to
+the `varnish-modules`_ vmod bundle. Other will be added over time.
+
+This packaging effort is still in its early stages and will grow over time
