Contributors looking for a mission: * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source. * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested". * Open bugs in the bug database. CURRENT RELEASE NOTES: * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.2.x releases, such that no MMN major number changes will occur. Such changes can only be made in the trunk. * All commits to branches/2.2.x must be reflected in SVN trunk, as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk, get feedback and votes on list or in STATUS, then merge into branches/2.2.x, as applicable. RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS: PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ] PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: * mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects. Note - this is required to avoid hangups of socket #64, #128 as Microsoft set aside 64 reserved values. Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=428029 2.2.x version of patch: Trunk version works http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/mpm_winnt_waits.patch is easier to read (-U8) +1: mturk +0: fielding (patch is okay, underlying code is crap) wrowe notes: a patch should have the necessary effect with the minimum lines of code - there's alot of redecorating that's going on in this patch to no net effect. The WAIT_TIMEOUT result value seems to be ignored in the revised code? mturk notes: WAIT_TIMEOUT is replaced by WAIT_FAILED with the accompanied patch in mpm\winnt\child.c. fielding notes: the routine is brain-dead -- one cannot replicate a wait for many objects by iterating through multiple waits with a one second sleep in between loops. That's insane. The right ways to do that are explained in the MSDN article <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms687025.aspx> In any case, it should be checking nCount <= MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS first and use the simple wait in that case. mturk notes: We are interested in that only during shutdown so a one second simplification is acceptable compromise. The sole purpose of the patch is to allow the clean shutdown when the MaxClients is higher then 257. * mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. Trunk: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=466865 +1: minfrin niq: This wants a little tidying. Use of 13 as a magic number (for a strlen of something defined elsewhere) is nasty. More importantly you need to document how it affects the module's directives. I'll +1 it when that's done. wrowe: ditto's - good concept. * mod_dbd: initialise resources and prepared statements in all vhosts PRs: 42327, 41302 Trunk: N/A due to other changes (r503931 et al) Patch by bojan: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=20161 +1: niq -1: chrisd: I think r503931 is actually the right thing to backport here, which admittedly probably requires backporting r491729, r491884, r492394 (trivial), and r496831 first. While more complex than a quick patch, I think the explanation in the fourth section of this post explains why there's no simple fix for the virtual-host inheritance issues: http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=116742014418304&w=2 Doing this work would also let us close at least three PRs. PR 42327 seems like a duplicate of 41302 (both would be closed by r503931), and r496831 would close PR 39985 as well. * mod_dbd: Rename functions and variables for consistency, and move some functions around for readability, prior to making functional changes for PRs 39985, 41302, and other issues. Trunk version of patches: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=491729 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=492394 (relevant portions only) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=521230 2.2.x version of patch: http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/mod_dbd-1tidy-2.2.x.patch +1: chrisd, fuankg +1: niq (to chris's mod_dbd updates collectively) * mod_dbd: Handle error conditions in dbd_construct() properly. Simplify ap_dbd_open() and use correct arguments to apr_dbd_error() when non-threaded. Register correct cleanup data in non-threaded ap_dbd_acquire() and ap_dbd_cacquire(). Clean up configuration data and merge function. Use ap_log_error() wherever possible. Trunk version of patches: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=491884 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=492394 (relevant portions only) 2.2.x version of patch: http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/mod_dbd-2misc-2.2.x.patch +1: chrisd +1: niq (to chris's mod_dbd updates collectively) * beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run(). Otherwise modules' child_init hooks appear to never be executed. Also, destroying pmain ensures that cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed (e.g., mod_log_config and mod_dbd). Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=491922 2.2.x version of patch: http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/mpm_child_init-beos-2.2.x.patch +0: chrisd (abstaining; unable to test) * mod_dbd: Create memory sub-pools for each DB connection and close DB connections in a pool cleanup function. Ensure prepared statements are destroyed before DB connection is closed. When using reslists, prevent segfaults when child processes exit, and stop memory leakage of ap_dbd_t structures. Avoid use of global s->process->pool, which isn't destroyed by exiting child processes in most multi-process MPMs. See also the third section of: http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=116742014418304&w=2 and the eventual solution as described in the comments in the dbd_setup() function. PR: 39985 Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=496831 2.2.x version of patch: http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/mod_dbd-3pools-2.2.x.patch +1: chrisd +1: niq (to chris's mod_dbd updates collectively) * mod_dbd: Introduce configuration groups to allow inheritance by virtual hosts of database configurations from the main server. Determine the minimal set of distinct configurations and share connection pools whenever possible. Allow virtual hosts to override inherited SQL statements. See also the fourth section of: http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=116742014418304&w=2 and the eventual solution as implemented in the dbd_post_config() function. Obviates r424798, r432560, r432562, and r466641. Could be improved by the addition of <DBDGroup> configuration sections. (Any takers? :-) PR: 41302 Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=503931 2.2.x version of patch: http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/mod_dbd-4groups-2.2.x.patch +1: chrisd +1: niq (to chris's mod_dbd updates collectively) * mod_proxy: Improve traces in ap_proxy_http_process_response() to investigate PR37770. Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=549420 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=561778 +1: jfclere, rpluem * multiple files, Trivial cleanups PR: 39518 - Christophe JAILLET http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=557837 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=557972 +1: rpluem niq: this isn't a straight backport (which is why I dropped it). +1 for core, modules/dav, modules/filters, and modules/ssl Not Applicable to modules/aaa * mod_proxy: Enable ProxySet inside <Proxy> section to create balancer or worker if they were not already created. This allows to have ProxySet directive before BalancerMember directives inside Proxy section. Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=427920&view=rev Backport version for 2.2.x of patch: Trunk version of patch works +1: rpluem, jim -0.5: niq - This (ProxySet) needs documenting. Reviewing it 'blind' lacks appeal. * mod_proxy: Allow optional name=value options within <Proxy section line. Additional arguments are allowed only for 'standard' url's, meaning that the wildchar urls will return error like before. This allow to specify the worker/balancer parameters on the definition line, without the need for extra ProxySet options. Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=427928&view=rev http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=428291&view=rev Backport version for 2.2.x of patch: Trunk version of patch works +1: rpluem, jim * mod_ldap, mod_authnzldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X. PR: 42891 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=560373 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=562165 A version of the patch specific to the 2.2 branch (i.e. the patch that would be used for backport) can be found at: http://people.apache.org/~rederpj/NestedGroups_2.2.xBranch.diff +1: rederpj -0: bnicholes - Unless this is considered to be a significant deficiency in the authnz_ldap 2.2 functionality, I would rather see this as new functionality going forward in 2.4 rather than backported to 2.2. We need new functionality to push us forward rather than give us an excuse to stay where we are. rederpj says: I'm working on a project based on Apache 2.2.x which needs this code and I would much prefer to use official Apache code than end up using a private patch. It isn't possible in the short term for us to move to trunk. It just happened that code I had written to add this function lined up with PR 42891. I was going to submit it and work to get it backported either way. rpluem says: I am still missing a minor bump due to the changes done in util_ldap.h. This is an extension of a public API. trawick says: The new directives should be documented in trunk, so that docs are available for backport at the same time. * mime.types: Add registered Apple installer type PR: 40379 Comment: if "pkg" or "dist" is overloaded in the context of "extension"s, this may need to be reviewed. Anyone? http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=560533 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=562236 +1: niq * httxt2dbm.exe: add to the Windows build PR: 42549 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/support/httxt2dbm.dsp?view=log&pathrev=563636 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/Apache.dsw?view=diff&r1=563635&r2=563636&pathrev=563636 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/Makefile.win?view=diff&r1=563940&r2=563941&pathrev=563941 +1: ake, covener * mod_negotiation: Preserve Query String when resolving a type map PR: 33112 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=565671 +1: niq * mpm_winnt: Prevent the parent-child pipe from leaking into other spawned processes, and ensure we have a /Device/null handle for stdout when running as-a-service. [William Rowe] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=568446 +1: wrowe * log core: fix the new piped logger case where we couldn't connect the replacement stderr logger's stderr to the NULL stdout stream. Continue in this case, since the previous alternative of no error logging at all (/dev/null) is far worse. [William Rowe] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=568326 disambiguate an error message to diagnose future error reports http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=568322 +1: wrowe * main core: Emit errors during the initial apr_app_initialize() or apr_pool_create() (when apr-based error reporting is not ready). http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=568779 +1: wrowe PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED * PKCS#7: backport PCKS#7 patches from trunk. +1 ben jerenkrantz: What's the revision number to backport? wrowe asks: ditto jerenkrantz sctemme: svn blame suggests r424707 rpluem: Digging through the history suggests that r424735 r424821 r424823 need to be added to this. See also http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200607.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] and follow ups for more details. * mod_proxy: Support variable interpolation in reverse proxy configuration http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=421686 (code) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=422178 (code) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/manual/mod/mod_proxy.xml?r1=420990&r2=421725 (docs) +1: niq, mturk -1: wrowe notes; modifying the existing syntax makes collaboration impossible by an admin team - unexpected side effects and the rest. ProxyPassEnv* or ProxyPassSubstitute* directives that add this behavior on a pattern-by-pattern basis would win my -1 to a +1, and solve the performance hits noted by niq on an 80/20 basis.
