Bug#664761: apache2/conf.d migration: what should webapp packagers do?
Hi Jonathan, On 14.07.2014 23:12, Jonathan Nieder wrote: https://wiki.debian.org/Apache/PackagingFor24 is helpful (thanks!), but I'm still stuck --- I really just don't know how to package gitweb in the new setup. See also http://bugs.debian.org/669292#28: * It's not clear when to run apache2_invoke enconf gitweb for a package like gitweb that does not have a Depends against apache 2.4. If I run it conditionally based on the Apache version, then gitweb will still be broken when the user upgrades apache, unless gitweb happens to be upgraded later in the same upgrade run. web applications aren't supposed to depend on Apache anyway. We suggest packagers of web applications to recommend on Apache so that other web servers can be used, too if people wish. On that matter I do not think gitweb would be different to other packages, or is it? Therefore, we recommend that you check if Apache 2.4 is installed at time you execute the maintainer scripts. There is not much you or we could do, if it isn't. We do both agree that gitweb should rather not depend on Apache, therefore we need conditionals in maintainer scripts. For Apache 2.4 this works like this: if [ -e /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper ] ; then . /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper apache2_invoke enconf gitweb.conf || exit $? fi This ensures that your configuration is enabled when Apache is installed, and it will not fail if it is not. You do not need to worry in what context to execute this, as our apache2-maintscript-helper takes care to figure out the right thing in the right context (e.g. postinst configure). * It's not clear when to run apache2_invoke disconf gitweb. At remove and purge time doesn't seem to be enough. Likewise as for the enable part. Just call if [ -e /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper ] ; then . /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper apache2_invoke disconf gitweb.conf || exit $? fi ... and apache2-maintscript-helper tries to figure out when to do what. In particular we disable the module in postrm purge, postrm remove and prerm remove. When else do you think it would be necessary? For the archives: apache2-maintscript-helper is reading the maintainer script state out of $@ supplied to your script. If you wish to call it from a function, you must ensure the context is preserved. If you wish, you can set APACHE2_MAINTSCRIPT_DEBUG (e.g. in /etc/apache2/envvars) and get debug output of the apache2-maintscript-helper at runtime to see what it does in various use cases. And https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=23;filename=update-apache-packaging.patch;att=1;bug=669292: - prerm deconfigure does not clean up as much as it should - needs triggers to reconfigure when apache is updated? Not sure what you ask me about here? Basically, I am stuck on understanding the state machine: (1) What is the intended update order between webapps, apache-common, and apache itself? What Depends, Pre-Depends, or triggers should be used to make sure everything works okay regardless of the update order? Please read http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-apache/apache2.git;a=blob;f=debian/PACKAGING;h=0bbb06c48d628cd7c3b6037a0118574a722f2184;hb=HEAD#l157. Does this answer your questions? It does not talk about triggers, because there are none (though we planned to do at some stage) ;-) In particular, the conditional enconf and disconf invocations seem to make it easy to get into a non-working state and never get out of it. Well, we need to deal with that. This is not different than before. If Apache2 wasn't installed, you putting a conf to conf.d is not going to work out either. If you meant to address situations when you install your conf to conf-available and install Apache at a later stage, it is our business (i.e. Apache maintainer's) to ensure those get enabled then. That's a good point actually, and I need to think if we can and should do something in that case. (2) What is the intended uninstallation procedure? https://wiki.debian.org/Apache/PackagingFor24 tells me I should enconf in postinst and disconf in postrm. That's confusing because: * Usually in packaging, postinst is a mirror image of prerm so when the package is in a given dpkg state, the state of configuration matches that. Why here is postinst's mirror image in postrm instead? * Dependencies are not guaranteed to be present during postrm, so the disconf is not guaranteed to happen. It is actually preferred that disconf is called in prerm. This is also what dh-apache2 would do if you let it. Or in both scripts. I am not sure why this is isn't written more explicit in the wiki but I will fix that in a minute. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc

Yes. However, the problem is, that a lot of web apps are not all technically release critical broken. We need to look at all of them on a case by case basis and decide what exactly they do (or don't do). This is on my to do, but if someone beats me on it, I won't complain. :-) Second, for supporting all possible upgrade and partial upgrade scenarios (not only between wheezy and jessie, Debian-derived distributions like Ubuntu might have different collections of packages), apache2-bin needs to have a versioned Breaks: against the broken versions of all of the packages in [1] and [2]. Why? Packages in [2] aren't supposed to depend on apache2.2-bin (with some few exceptions, against which ones we /do/ have Breaks in place). Module packages depend on apache2.2-common, where we do force removal upon upgrade, so that in turn, obsolete dependencies without proper replacement are removed, too. For web apps, it's merely a definition of Breaks, a lot of web apps continue to work just fine, just the automated integration into Apache does not work anymore, or the example configuration needs a few fixes, whereas the package itself just works fine. Not that they would depend on apache2.2-bin. (Are there more such usertags?)

I'm absolutely with you on that. I strongly agree that Apache people should use stronger keys. However, we're a distribution - it's not our job to define key requirements for upstreams. We can, and maybe should talk to them on that matter but technically it's not only Jim to be allowed to release new versions of the Apache web server. That being said, it's them to accept/define valid and legit keys used within their project. Therefore, I thought a more complete patch would be a keyring which includes all signatures of people allowed to sign and release code on behalf of the httpd project.

Yet this is Debian, and not Ubuntu. I do not doubt your issue is in Debian, too but still it would be helpful if you verified your problem in Debian when reporting to a Debian bug tracker. Installing tntnet as Recommends of mailgraph Installing libcxxtools9 as Depends of tntnet Installing libtntnet11 as Depends of tntnet Installing tntnet-runtime as Recommends of libtntnet11 The mailgraph Recommends has in particular: httpd | apache2. which is perfectly acceptable, since that's precisely what the recommends line tells. If you believe this is a problem and apache should be pulled instead, report a bug against mailgraph. As the apache2 package wasn't installed on my machine (it is just a metapackage with Apache 2.2, such as in Ubuntu 13.04 and the current Debian stable, so that one can already have an Apache server without this package), this can lead to the installation of another web server such as tntnet via httpd. You can. But it's not supported. That use case is meant for people embedding Apache as embedded server into their binaries, such as gnome-user-share. Everyone else is supposed to install apache2. Note: on this machine, I had apache2-mpm-itk installed, which had Provides: ..., httpd, ... in the 2.2 version, but this line is no longer present in the 2.4 version (the new apache2-bin package has one and is eventually installed due to dependencies, but it seems that apt can't figure this out early enough). Which means, this problem is one existing in apt/aptitude. I don't know the best solution. Add a Provides: line to the transitional packages (such as apache2-mpm-itk), which corresponds to what apache2-bin now provides? At least that seems not to cause problems, so I may add it for the next upload unless I find another unwanted side-effect. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#728937: apache2: broken in system upgrade due to mailgraph Recommends leading to tntnet installation
On 07.11.2013 16:06, Vincent Lefevre wrote: In fact, it's not even a bug since you installed a leaf package directly which is not meant to be used standalone. You're wrong. Users are not forced to install metapackages. I probably did apt-get install apache2-mpm-itk to make sure that this version of the server was installed (something that apt-get install apache2 doesn't). It you think that apache2 must have been installed too, then a Depends: apache2 must have been added (and Provides: apache2 should probably have been removed), or at least a Recommends: apache2. Note that apache2-mpm-itk provided httpd, so that there were no reasons at all to install apache2 *explicitly*. I did not say, that users are forced to install meta packages, but that -mpm-* packages existed _only_ to let reverse dependencies depend on them at Apache 2.2 time, as some modules require a particular MPM to run. They are not meant to be installed standalone by users, and are now fortunately going to disappear. In fact, all they do is to change the link pointing to the MPM you are going to use. However, we cannot just depend on the apache2 package as you suggest, because some packages use the binaries only, without wanting the full stack (configuration files, handling, init scripts etc.) - e.g. look at gnome-user-share which pulls apache2.2-bin. If you look into the 2.2 packages you will notice, that neither of the MPM packages _actually_ includes that MPM. They are all, always installed by apache2.2-bin. No! Apache was already installed (with httpd provided by apache2-mpm-itk, so that this Recommends was satisfied). The problem is that apt pulled tntnet *in addition* to Apache. Yes. But that's a problem of apt[itude], not of the packaging of Apache as I said previously. We ensure that people having apache2-mpm-itk installed get the appropriate package with the appropriate MPM providing httpd in Apache 2.4 again. If that makes apt think that there is no httpd installed for a transient moment in time, well, there is not much we could do against other than working around that limitation (or bug, if you may want to put it that way) which we will do in future as you suggested. A Recommends on httpd | apache2 | apache2-mpm-worker | apache2-mpm-prefork | apache2-mpm-event | apache2-mpm-itk might have solved the problem, but I don't think it is up to mailgraph to know the internals of Apache packages. It is the job of Apache packages to make sure that the transition is OK. Again, we do, unless you use packages in a way they are not meant to be used. Everyone else is supposed to... without a Depends or Recommends? That's insane! Well. I gave you the reason why this is problematic. I suppose Gnome users wouldn't like it if it would pull a web server listening on port 80 by default - don't you think? I agree that this is a borderline case to insanity (and not even my decision back then). but that's the way it is for Apache 2.2. Luckily we do not need to worry anymore as in 2.4 MPMs are regular modules and do not need a special treatment anymore. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Also, it is important to realise that without a dependency from apache2.4 on apache2.2-common, apache2.2-common could be purged by apt(itude) before the first apache2.4 package is even unpacked: looking at my dpkg log, this is exactly what happened. So the mechanism in apache2.2-common.postrm of checking for /etc/apache2/upgrade-to-2.4-in-progress doesn't provide any benefit in this case :-( Right. That's also why we do not use this trapdoor in maintainer scripts. So it seems like having a dependency on a dummy apache2.2-common would be the sensible (if annoying) thing to do.

Given that the VirtualHost directive lives in a user-configurable file and *must* exactly match the NameVirtualHost directive, it strikes me that the old way, having the later also in the user-configurable file, was a better approach than the present, where the user must - in fact - edit a file that's not in sub-directory in which user-configuration normally takes place. If there's genuinely a compelling reason to put the NameVirtualHost somewhere other than *right next to* the VirtualHost directive (as I'm fairly sure it used to be), where it'll be obvious that they need to stay in sync, please add a comment to default, immediately before the VirtualHost directive, saying be sure to keep ports.conf's NameVirtualHost in sync; the host:port must match exactly. First, let me point out that also ports.conf is a user-configurable file. You can safely edit and adapt it to your needs. That what it is meant for. Having NameVirtualHost in 000-default though is dangerous, at is a directive being _shared_ across virtual hosts. It is used by all sites, including but not limited to the default site. Assuming you deactivate the default site, this causes undefined and broken behavior if you have other name based virtual hosts. This is a major problem lots of Debian users stumbled upon over the years. Thus, we're more than glad and very happy NameVirtualHost is no more in 000-default.conf and we are definitely not going back that road. That being said please note, that NameVirtualHost itself is deprecated and not used anymore in Apache2 2.4. There is no chance to fix this in Debian Stable anyway due to our freezing policy, and the next Debian release will have Apache2 2.4 only, not using NameVirtualHost at all anymore. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Pretending we provided apache2.2-common, modules depending on the 2.2 version of the server had their depdencies satisfied. Thus, they would be co-installable with Apache 2.4, they would migrate to Testing and so on. However, if you try to enable such a module, it breaks the whole server which fails to start as there will be symbol lookup errors at runtime.

Possibly it could be the other way around and transition from apache2.2-common to apache2 through a transitional package. * The only way to ship a package named apache2.2-common is to add a Breaks header listing every single reverse dependency with correct version information.

Re: Team maintenance of more Apache modules?
Hi Colin, I appreciate your efforts. It was me, as a main driver of this transition to be responsible for causing you all this work. Sorry about all of this, but I'm deeply impressed on all the good work you spent to patch upstream's code. On 13.07.2013 12:43, Colin Watson wrote: To me, this suggests that many of these packages would benefit from team maintenance. [..] but there are plenty of source packages that only build an Apache module. The contrast with the Haskell team which I joined recently (almost all team-maintained, very high degree of packaging consistency, lots of tools, amazingly low bug-to-package ratio) has been pretty striking to me, and it suggests possible improvement. Any _working_ team is without doubt an improvement. However, as you pointed out yourself, many modules had no love for years which implies some lack of interest to have them maintained properly. Just having a team umbrella around does not attract more interest on these modules, and the only thing being worse than a single maintainer not caring is a whole team not caring in hope someone else will do. I don't mean to diss the maintainers involved; it's just that there are obvious economies of scale here. The Apache 2.4 porting work has been pretty formulaic for the most part, and no doubt there'll be an Apache 2.6 in the future and we'll get to do it all over again. True. That being said I hope it will be less painful for the changes we introduced with 2.4 (depending on API versions, packaging helper, consolidated maintainer script handling etc.) Depending on what the Apache server maintainers are amenable to in terms of access control and bug mail on debian-apache@lists, we could either use the existing pkg-apache Alioth project or start a new pkg-apache-modules project. We could start with libapache2-mod-auth-plain, which is currently orphaned, but it'd be nice to have a few more. As an Apache maintainer, I welcome any effort resulting in a *working* team, and I see no problem to use debian-apache@l.d.o for that purpose. I might even join that team. ;-) -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Bug#711127: apache2.2-bin transitional package (binaries only) should not depend on apache2 package (which runs a system daemon)
Hi, On 04.06.2013 23:39, Josh Triplett wrote: (I debated whether to open this as grave or just important, but I don't think the new transitional package should transition to testing with this bug present.) It won't do so anyway. We prefer a coordinated rush together with our reverse dependencies. See #707024. I don't think this is grave, to be honest. The apache2.2-bin package formerly supplied only the binaries for the Apache web server, and notably did *not* run a systemwide apache daemon. However, the new apache2.2-bin transitional package depends on both apache2-bin (the equivalent binaries-only package) and apache2 (the system daemon package). Please don't do that; that will cause systems with only apache2.2-bin installed to suddenly end up with a running system web server after upgrade. Yes, you raise a valid point. However, I'm pretty sure we did this on purpose back then. Sadly I don't remember details anymore as this transition was originally meant to happen for Wheezy.

Bug#703121: apache2: Apache2 ignores/overwrites UMASK setting of pam_umask
Hi, On 15.03.2013 21:11, Michael Herold wrote: Package: apache2 I am running a server with a 'UMASK 027' setting in /etc/login.defs and pam_umask enabled. This leads to a default umask of 027 for all shell users. However I also expect the apache2 to run with this umask. /etc/login.defs is for shell users, however the web server is started as root and drops privileges after binding to the socket. Thus, this is a expected behavior, given the Apache's parent process is init (PID: 1). Apache always runs with a umask of 022 causing cgi-scripts to create new files with rather generous permissions. This also implies that there are debian packages which expose private uploads to all users in /tmp/ with default settings. The behavior has been produced with fcgid and mod_php under squeeze and wheezy. You can override the default umask by configuring /etc/apache2/envvars. If you prfer, it also works to override the umask in /etc/init.d/apache2 which will be inherited to Apache. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Bug#681545: apache2-dev: dh_apache2 postinst action should run during more actions
Hi Russ, I'm finally coming back to the dh_apache issues you filed long ago. I believe you should therefore just remove this conditional and run this code in postinst unconditionally. Your explanation sounds right to me. However, we do not unconditionally disable the module either. We only do so in case of postrm purge|remove to ensure the web server is not reloaded without need. This makes the abort-upgrade|abort-remove|abort-deconfigure operations a no op with respect to Apache maintainer scripts. Our goal should be to minimize the impact of an upgrade. Many people tend to be annoyed when the web server is restarted during upgrades. Hence, I do believe configure is correct, but I might try some of the abort/failure cases you mentioned before deciding what to do eventually with your bug. Does my explanation make sense to you? -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#681544: apache2-dev: provide dh_apache2 option to avoid enabling module by default
Hi Russ, On 14.07.2012 05:06, Russ Allbery wrote: A nicer mechanism would be to allow the *.apache2 configuration file have an option for mod *.load lines saying not to enable the module by default. I think, we should rather stick with a specialized dh_apache command line argument, say dh_apache2 --no-start-by-default or whatever instead of adding even more complexity to .load files. Does that sound acceptable to you? Moreover, we planned to let the maintainer give a local policy on that regard. I could imagine a variable in /etc/default/apache2 determining the web server reload behavior. In fact, that's quite the point to abstract the module load behavior through our wrapper script, although such policies are not implemented yet. If the module is enabled, then Apache should still be restarted on upgrade (or other configuration actions). If the module is not enabled or wasn't previously installed, nothing should be done by default in postinst. The postrm handling would remain the same. We do so, don't we? At least we wrote code which should do right that, but it might have bugs of course : -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Some people actually in squeeze use this package because it is working like a proxy to a fastcgi server (FastCgiExternalServer). If they upgrade to wheezy, their application stop working without any workaround (they can delete apache and use nginx in place but it is not the question here).

I am not sure to follow here. If you change the desired port through VirtualHost the listening port is /not/ affected (see also upstream docs [1]). That means, if you wanted to change that behavior you'd need another Listen directive anyhow, regardless what you configured in your default site where Apache shall listen.

At very least you are probably not using the multistrap default setup which does not include Apache for obvious reasons. Seems that error comes from a2ensite call, so I suspect the cause might be some dependency of that script has not yet been configured. a2ensite does not call a shell to read /etc/apache2/envvars. Your output makes me suspect this is rather coming from the init script which is invoked from postinst. What makes you think a2ensite is the problem? That makes this error really strange because envvars comes from the same package and is installed through dpkg, not a maintainer script, i.e. long before the init script is called. Perhaps apache2.2-common must pre-depend (not depend) on perl, to ensure perl is fully configured before used. In fact, a2enmod (almost) works already with perl-base installed, which is an essential package. I say almost, because it does not include File::Basename which we use. If perl was the problem, it would fail out there. The installation was done using multistrap which postpones more postinst scripts than debootstrap and debian-installer.
