Summary and motivation 1.1. Introduction This project delivers Apache module mod_sed to the Apache2 (PSARC/2007/586) in OpenSolaris. Modules allow Apache to integrate and provide functionality during runtime that were not available during compile time. 1.1.1 mod_sed The module mod_sed provides Unix sed like functionality for modifying requests and responses to Apache HTTP server. This is a Sun contributed module to apache. This project integrates the most recent stable releases of mod_sed[1]. This case seeks Minor Release Binding. 2. Technical issues 2.1. Key objects 2.1.1.1 mod_sed objects /usr/apache2/2.2/libexec/mod_sed.so /usr/apache2/2.2/libexec/${ISAINFO}/mod_sed.so 2.2 Versioning mod_sed has been contributed and integrated into the Apache trunk upstream, but it is not yet final and may still change. This trunk will become the future 2.4 version of Apache. This case is back-porting it to the 2.2.x release to make it available early for OpenSolaris customers, but because the upstream is not final we will declare it Volatile for now. It is not possible to query the module to find out its version. The only way to do that is to look at the package description for the package including it. 2.2 Directory Naming and Structure This project delivers the shared libraries of 32 bit and 64 bit into /usr/apache2/2.2/libexec and /usr/apache2/2.2/libexec/${ISAINFO}/ directories of apache. This is in keeping with the approach taken by the Apache2 integration project for OpenSolaris (PSARC/2007/586). 3. Documentation The module mod_sed does not install documentation into apache though it comes with some documentation in its source. The recommended way to access its documentation is to look at its website mod_sed[1]. 4. Packaging and Delivery The module mod_sed will be delivered under the name SUNWapch22m-sed in keeping with the naming of other external Apache modules. 5. Interfaces 5.1. Interface Stability mod_sed module is controlled by an external organization. The specific information regarding stability of the module is captured below. 5.1.1 mod_sed The mod_sed is alpha and is not stable. 5.2. Imported Interfaces This Apache module imports interfaces from NAME STABILITY NOTES ------------------------------------------------------------ Apache2 Uncommitted PSARC/2007/586/ 5.3. Exported Interfaces NAME STABILITY --------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/apache2/2.2/libexec/mod_sed.so Volatile /usr/apache2/2.2/libexec/${ISAINFO}/mod_sed.so Volatile /etc/apache2/2.2/samples-conf.d/sed.conf Volatile 6. Limitations None known at this time. 7.
