Thanks Yann,
Mod_ssl has specific needed changes for mod_md. Some changes are already
committed in 2.4.x.
Mod_md in 2.4.x-mod_md branch does not build out of the box, because faulting
mod_ssl:
in ssl_engine_init.c I have to set #define MOD_MD_BACKPORTED 1
Regards,
Steffen
Ps.
Saw that icing already cleaned up a branche (moved to attic). More to follow ?
