obvious question ... if it *is* overkill, what are the options to
dial it back? as you suggested, perhaps just using some combination of
the current modules, like mod_session, etc?
just to explain what's happening here, i'm helping duplicate a
system currently based on centos 7 to using openembedded/yocto project
to build an equivalent system for a powerpc target, so there's a good
deal going on along the lines of, "hmmmmmm, what OE/YP recipe
buildable for powerpc will give me the equivalent of each of those
800+ centos rpms currently running on x86?" good times, good times.
most of the software has been reproduced using some combination of
OE/YP recipes, but occasionally, i run into something that was being
used on the centos system -- mod_auth_tkt -- that is not available as
an OE recipe, so i have to figure out what to do about it.
in this case, since that module is apparently not supported for
apache 2.4, i have to decide to either write a recipe for it, or
replace it with some current equivalent. just thought you might find
the backstory useful.
in any event, now i just have to decide which way to jump.
