Package: apache2-common Version: 2.0.48-7 Severity: wishlist When I edited a file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ and put it under version control in an RCS subdirectory I discovered that apache was attempting to include the RCS directory and the foo~ (editing backup/scratch) file. This is the documented behavior, but it is not good behavior.
As a work-around, I have changed /etc/apache2/apache2.conf to use # Include generic snippets of statements Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/[a-z]*[a-z0-9] You might or might not want to use this in the standard configuration. Really, an ideal solution IMHO would be for upstream to change the way Include picks out files to use something more like the logic in, for example, run-parts. I suppose this could also be added as a Debian tweak. Also, this could be made a separate command, leaving Include as is (IncludeParts?). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux iron 2.4.24advncd #1 SMP Fri Jan 30 14:30:34 PST 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apache2-common depends on: ii debconf 1.3.22 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.6.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libapr0 2.0.48-4 The Apache Portable Runtime ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-8 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.6-6 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libldap2 2.1.23-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7c-5 SSL shared libraries ii mime-support 3.24-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii net-tools 1.60-9 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii openssl 0.9.7c-5 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii ssl-cert 1.0-7 Simple debconf wrapper for openssl ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
