For posterity, I think it's worth more directly refuting the misinformation that httpd in ubuntu is "redesigned" in any meaningful way. The changes are trivial to accommodate fitting into the distros own package manager, filesystem layout, lifecycle, and other conventions. It's no redesign, re-implementation, or anything like that. This is usually only a minor speedbump, but combine with the traits of https://slash7.com/2006/12/22/vampires/ and you get this kind of carelord drama where someone needs to justify their behavior by any means necessary. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
