mod_ftp fans; At last, I came up with a trivial strategy for doing autoconf-like tests, using nothing except apxs & httpd/build/ elements, so mod_ftp is really ready for feedback across any platform.
Please fetch up the newly prepared httpd-mod_ftp-0.9.0.tar.[gz|bz2] (and its md5/asc sigs) from: http://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/mod_ftp/ review, take it for a spin, and cast your choice [ ] -1 for release of 0.9.0 [ ] +1 to release as 0.9.0-alpha [ ] +1 to release as 0.9.0-beta [ ] +1 to release as 0.9.0-beta, and ready to tag GA (1.0.0) See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/mod_ftp/tags/0.9.0/STATUS-FTP identifying several issues (I don't plan to vote for better than -beta just yet). Supporting -beta means +1 to -alpha instead if that's the majority opinion. For getting started, http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/mod_ftp/tags/0.9.0/README-FTP describes the various ways you can use this package; note that there are no netware comments yet, so I decided to move ahead with a tarball, in the expectation that these comments would be added later. I'm sure working around the -DFTP_APXS_BUILD plus setting up an appropriate ftp_config.h for out of tree netware builds won't be that hard. For in-tree netware builds it should be a matter of adding the subdir; in-tree builds never use ftp_config.h (in tree builds rely on httpd ./configure to perform mod_ftp related autoconf tests, and load ap_config.h/ap_config_auto.h instead of ftp_config.h). If this is voted in, I'm thinking the local-docs could easily live in http://httpd.apache.org/modules/mod_ftp/docs/ for now, with an official module page at http://httpd.apache.org/modules/mod_ftp/ (similar to the mod_mbox official page).
