Ok, thanks. I've committed a change that I hope will fix the META.yml file when a release is next done: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1887336 And on the previously cited d...@httpd.apache.org list thread I've asked about the possibility of making a new release to resolve this matter. Hopefully this will occur sooner or later, so we shouldn't have to trouble you any more over this. Thanks again, Steve
