This was one of the other suggestions made on the ARC discuss list. My primary concern about keeping both 2.0.x and 2.2.4 around (albeit temporarily) is that it creates the possibility of a huge disaster: application <X> links againsr /uar/apache2 application <Y> links against /usr/apache2.2 application <Z> links against <X> and <Y> If this were ever to happen, it would be discovered quite quickly (i'm willing to bet that any apache module linked in such a dysfunctional fashion will crash very quickly). The question then becomes: in the interest of preserving Sun customers' existing installations, easing the transision pain, and giving enough leeway for module porting and regression testing, is the possibility described above an acceptable risk ? --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman Sun Microsystems, Inc.
