Hi all, thank you all for your votes!
I want to introduce a bit who I am and what I'm doing when I'm not on the list. I'm a self-employee, and my daily work is mainly keeping the various servers (NetWare, Linux, Win32) of my customers running. In addition I also write interfaces to special databases, backup scripts, tools, etc., all very special for my customers. I do a lot with Perl and PHP, but NetWare often forces me to write in C since some of the scripting languages lack of functions which I have on Linux and Win32. In my freetime I maintain my website with a couple of Apache module binaries as well as Apache self. I started initially only with NetWare binaries, that was with Apache 1.3.12; later I added Win32 binaries because I always needed to have something to compare to see if issues are NetWare only, or apply to all suported platforms. Win32 was the choice because of the similar file system structure, both have 'drive letters', on NetWare they are called volumes, and can be much longer than only one letter (but minimum I think 2 chars, or is it 3?). Meanwhile I have Win32 downloads ten times as much as NetWare... Also I'm a SysOp of the Novell Developer forums, and try to help there other developers in getting their Apache1|2 / Perl / PHP problems solved. Also I maintain mod_edir which is a Novell OpenSource module for access control. This is my relationship to Novell, and although I get an _excellent_ support from Novell, I'm not hired. How came I to this list?? Well, mostly Norm and other developers on the forums where guilty for that. There were always questions about 'when will we get mod_jk2 on NetWare?' which I couldnt ask, and Norm kept the ball in move consequently, he tried everything he could manage from his side, but he had to struggle always because our official compiler is is a $$$$ thing which nobody buys just for fun, just like MSVC. Although meanwhile we have also gcc available, we have still issues with the builds together with Apache (alignment stuff, bitfiels in Apache). Well, now I can answer the questions in the forums that we _have_ mod_jk2 for NetWare..., smile... so thanks again to all for their patience with all the commits!
That was one my second idea ;=)
Put you to commiter status to save me from commiting your works ;-)
my main focus for the future will be JK and JK2 connectors, keep them compilable with latest Apache2.1 on NetWare, Win32 and Linux (I'm also on the httpd dev list, and seems that we will soon get a first 2.1.0, thanks Sander!).
Well there is now at least 4 persons on this list which track http-dev, Guenter, Mladen, Jean-Frederic and I.
Welcome on board Guenter
