If been playing around with the new apache packages lately. Here's my list of annotations :-) Apache's default config references several snakeoil SSL certs which aren't supplied by the package leaving Apache in an unusable state. As there doesn't seem to be a helpful script at hand like mod_ssl's mkcert.sh there a several routes to go. The obvious is to "steal" mkcert.sh from mod_ssl and incorporate it into the apache package. OTOH there might be other packages which could benefit from a general purpose (dummy) cert facility as well. As openssl is part of the bootstrap might it be a better idea to provide such a facility as part of the openpkg package? Next topic: apache-php. I haven't played with every single option but there's one I found a little bit curious in the spec file. As I haven't any application which makes use of that specific functionality I want to raise the issue here on the list. apache-php provides an option called 'with_imap_annotate'. It's unclear to me whether this in an independent option or it's just a variant of 'with_imap'. For me, it looks more like the second case, but I might be wrong. If not, there should be some fiddling in the "fixing implicit extension dependencies and correlations" section, right? Next: regarding perl-apache (yep, not apache-perl :) I think there's major work still to do. The major bunch of Perl modules seem to be designed for Apache 1.3. I still have to check whether there is a full equivalent for every module designed for Apache 2.2. -cs ______________________________________________________________________ OpenPKG http://openpkg.org Developer Communication List openpkg-dev@openpkg.org
