Many people use mod_fcgid on Apache 2.0/2.2. The message should be that
mod_fcgid development has moved to the ASF, and existing users are not
being left behind in the transition. So a branch for mod_fcgid 2.x is
maintained for httpd 2.0/2.2 users just as our own stable branches are
maintained (FAR beyond emergencies, at least for 2.2.x).
This isn't necessarily in opposition to what you said, but some might
read it as something like "Apache took over and they won't distribute
fixes that work with my existing configurations except in extreme
circumstances."
I think that's something we want to avoid. (Sorry for the slow
response; I'd like to say I've been giving this deep thought but
actually I've just been distracted with other work for a bit.)
It's also worth assuming, I think, that mod_fcgid isn't going
to be back-ported and included in the 2.2.x distribution anytime soon.
Given that, I suppose we should look at continuing a 2.x branch
for mod_fcgid (with improved autoconf magic, obviously), at least
until a httpd 2.4.x is released with mod_fcgid in it.
It's slightly inconvenient but I'll willing to start digging into
the autoconf stuff and generally trying to get a branch going
before we add it into httpd trunk. How do others feel?
Chris.
