Don't get me wrong. The Version ist running stable, or it wouldn't be in the Ubuntu repositories.
Some things that happened since October 18th, 2011 (v1.2.101) are:
- Fix SSL POST REQUESTS break on Chrome 15 (#1284 Google)
- Fix error when compiling with --with-ffmpeg (#39)
- Fix Disabling SSL Compression might prevent an SSL CRIME attack.
More here:
https://github.com/cherokee/webserver/commits/master?page=1 And since the last release of the packages is from October 26th, 2011, (and Debian stable is way older) I don't think anyone is currently maintaining the packages. Hence the "dead chicken". Cherokee itself, of course, is alive.

I peeked into some articles about becoming a maintainer, but it looked like much more work than I am willing to invest, plus I wasn't sure if I have the skills, so I dropped it. That's why I can't respond to that. If you like to give it a shot, this would be a starting point:

Betreff: Re: [Cherokee] PHP Custom Environment Variables
I just installed php5-fpm 5.3.10 and cherokee 1.2.101 in ubuntu precise
with a few commands and clicks. thats a far better experience than in
debian. i'll go with that.
The packages were, at least on release, considered stable enough for
production.
if they now are a bit outdateted, well, then we will have to talk about
automated .deb-packaging and maintaining own repositories. maybe in
another thread. i wonder how much work this would be...
So, if this is a dead chicken, it is still twitching amazingly fast!
feels like in the monty python sketch, just with reversed roles and
different birds. (naaah, its not dead, its just sleeping)
