-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I just pushed my local next branch [1] to the public repository. It contains my experimental Apache2 2.3 package (currently 2.3.16-beta-1). To build it you need it to merge the next-upsstream branch [2] too. There is a ready-to-use debian/gbp.conf file which might help git-buildpackage to work as is. It needs some explanations. *) Let me start with the most evident fact: The package is not even close to be complete. It is just a random development snapshot you can look and comment at, but please realize it might contain random brokenness, temporary hacks and outdated files. *) Please do not try to upgrade an existing installation. It won't work. No, really. *) The apache2-dev and apache2-dbg packages are completely untested. The apache2-doc packages seems to work at a first glance, but I didn't look whether convert_docs still does useful things. *) Dependencies are mostly incomplete and partially commented out. That means I didn't thoroughly check or update them. That's especially true for provides/conflicts black magic. *) Following Stefan's idea the package has been much streamlined - it mainly consists of apache2, apache2-common and apache2-bin only now. + apache2 contains init scripts, configuration, Debian scripts (a2enmod, ...) and so on. It is the "master package" people are expected to use. It will install a full and working web server. The package is a pseudo arch:any package, but that's a limitation of Debian (arch:all packages can't depend on arch:any packages) + apache2-bin contains binaries only and provides a module magic number. Reverse dependencies are expected to depend on this MMN, not on apache2-bin directly. Installing apache2-bin will not pull in a full web server, only binaries. Packages depending on apache2-bin _only_ are expected to set-up their own configured instance of Apache. For that reason apache2ctl, a2enmod and such are provided in the apache2 package, despite of being public executables. + apache2-common provides icons and error documents. They are mostly useful in a full web-server setup only, thus the apache2 package depends directly on it. apache2-bin doesn't. + apache2-utils is mostly left as is, except that I'm providing some more stuff in it which comes along Apache 2.4. + Suexec changed notably, see below. *) I renamed the apache2-suexec package to apache2-suexec-pristine, apache2-suexec-custom is left as is. Furthermore, I reworked the packages in a way they can be installed concurrently. There is perhaps no good reason to do so, but that way I could merge the build process of both packages. For being co-installable packages must not install the same files, thus I install binaries and manpages as suexec-custom and suexec-pristine respectively. The suexec binary itself is provided through the alternatives system. I tested both suexec wrappers and they still work fine. That said, that's only a proposal. If you don't like it, I can live with reverting it back to the old conflicting approach *) debian/rules is incomplete. It does the most important stuff, but it may contain regressions. At very least it contains a lot of commented out code I still need to check for usefulness in 2.4 *) I did not touch patches. I only refreshed and ported the 010_fhs_compliance, 201_build_suexec-custom and 202_suexec-custom patches. The 201_build_suexec-custom patch looks quite different because of my changes outlined before *) The package contains a lot of old-* files. These are leftovers from the 2.2 package. Each of those files needs to be checked whether they are still needed (either as a whole or partially). This is especially true for 2.2 module configuration files I mostly ignored for now *) I updated the apache2.conf file to make use of the new "Require" directive instead of Allow/Deny/Order. Moreover I updated the conf to work with the new Include system and let it use the Mutex directive. *) The apache2.postinst was rewritten from scratch. It is not complete and only provides the most essential post-installation set-up. *) Syntax checks (apache2 -t) seem much more aggressive now, for example they fail if a configured directory does not exist yet (/var/lock/apache2, ...). I updated some Debian scripts in respect to that. *) I dropped the MPM ITK. Other MPM stuff is mostly untouched. I wrote a quick hack into apache2.conf to get a running instance by loading the threaded MPM unconditionally. Of course that's a temporary hack and subject to change. *) I refactored several files in debian/ to new locations to have them easily installable straight be dh_install (which still can't rename files directly). For example manpages can be found in debian/manpages, suexec configuration in debian/suexec-config-dir and so on. Thus, up to now no "COPY OF DOOM" magic is needed. ... more in the git commit messages and debian/changelog. Again, let me point out this is just a frozen development snapshot. The package is not meant to be complete as is. I'm happy to get feedback and more suggestions (or hate mails), but I'll continue to work on the package and it surely needs more work.
