Oh yah... the config thing. There isn't a way to keep existing configs? To simply deprecate older configurations? Is the problem that older configs need to add a new directive? And if so, then could we add it automagically? Yes, this would hard-code a dependency between two modules, but that would be better than a broken config. And we can take out the auto-config at some future point. It would seem that changes to the directives would be easy, and we could also deprecate older directives. In all cases, we'd change our .conf files and the doc, issue warnings for old usage, and then just "wait a while" before removing old support. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
