so. it's just a namespace - Apache2::SizeLimit could simply be a thin wrapper around Apache::SizeLimit, throwing a nice critical log message to change to the real Apache::SizeLimit, please. > > If you put Apache::SizeLimit on CPAN which supported both, we'd probably > have to remove the one > from modperl2-svn and any existing modperl 2 installations would need to > go back > and change there httpd.conf/startup.pl to use it again. there are ways around that that won't hurt so bad, like the above. > > By doing so, that would be directly the opposite of what our API rename > readme said to do. that's fine. _someone_ is going to have to change, be it mp1 or mp2 users if we roll this out to CPAN. or we will, by including a cpan pull when we roll a release. > > I'd actually rather just see mod_perl1.30 get released.

Isn't that how "maintenance" releases work best ? I wasn't against a release. I was just saying there's a reason it hasn't been released lately :) > > At least according to the docs Stas wrote, I think he was hoping > Apache::GtopLimit would obsolete > Apache(2)::SizeLimit once it ran on enough architectures. well, first things first :) look, if we release Apache::SizeLimit to cpan then we're essentially giving up control of it in mod_perl core. that's fine, so long as we let users know. but I'm bothered that we'd have something on CPAN that is 99% the same between mp1 and mp2, leaving us core maintainers with extra work keeping them in sync, which is much harder when one is outside our control and in the CPAN wild. let's just get them working together in the same distribution, put in on cpan, and pull it into each mod_perl release as they happen... --Geoff
