I was about to add a use expand flag for monkeyd (a tiny web server) and
there is a notice in base/make.default to discuss use expand flags on
the list first. There are about 9 plugins for monkeyd similar to apache
which can be turned on/off by a configure switch. It makes sense to
follow the same logic as apache here. There are no dependencies on
monkeyd and so no use-deps. Seems very safe. Any objections?
Could you elaborate a bit more on the flags? Please list them, shortly
explain and tell us whether you expect the number of plugins to expand
and how fast.
Sorry I already committed this with Chainsaw's ack. Anyhow, they are:
auth - Provide HTTP Basic Authentication
cheetah - Provide a shell-like command line interface
#cgi - Provide the traditional CGI interface
dirlisting - Show an HTML listing of the content of a directory
#fastcgi - Provide FastCGI proxy support
liana - Build your own network layer through monkeyd
logger - Log requests and common errors
mandril - Restrict incoming connections based on the IP address or URI
request
polarssl - Provide HTTPS using PolarSSL v1.*.
The ones that are commented out are global flags and so I did not make
them part of the USE_EXPAND, they are still treated as plugins by
monkeyd and I have them commented out in monkeyd_plugins.desc with an
explanation. Upstream has an entire plugin system which they use
extensively and expect contributors to use plugins. There have always
been a couple of changes with each bump, eg between 1.1.1 and 1.2.0
regarding ssl. So I expect the same in the future.
