Hi, 2012/3/23 Joe Orton <jorton@xxxxxxxxxx>: > httpd 2.4.1 packages are ready for dist-f18 and will be built early next > week. Rebuilds will be required for all packages containing httpd > modules. There are API changes in 2.4, so module packages may need > patches if upstream has not done that work already: > > http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/developer/new_api_2_4.html > > There are some significant changes in the packaging, also: > > 1) Config changes: I've moved to a minimal default httpd.conf which is > very close to what we're shipping upstream. > > a) I'm proposing to split out packaged config snippets from mutable > config, with the former in /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/, containing only > LoadModule lines, and ordered to avoid load-ordering issues. > > b) /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf should contain no LoadModules for packaged > modules, and only any reasonable default configurations. +1 for configuration changes > > 2) Loadable MPMs! MPMs are now loadable modules, so we only need to > ship one httpd binary again. Changing MPM is a config tweak. > > 3) Content. Putting unmutable content in /var was bad practice, so I've > moved the /var/www/manual and /var/www/icons to into /usr/share/httpd. > We now ship /var/www/* as empty directories. > > 4) Filesystem locations have moved in-line with upstream, e.g. apxs is > now in /usr/bin. /etc/rpm/httpd.macros has macros for everything module > packages should need. > > Since much of the above requires packaging changes for module packages, > I've prepared a draft packaging guideline to document best practice: > > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ApacheHTTPModules > > If anything there looks stupid, needs fixing, is missing, or there's any > other feedback, please shout! > > Regards, Joe > -- > devel mailing list > devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Do you know if the new version of httpd has major changes in modules API? I'm trying to cobble together spec file for mod_spdy https://github.com/eventhorizonpl/mod_spdy/blob/master/mod_spdy.spec and I hope to finish it for F18 :) -- Best regards, Michal http://eventhorizon.pl/ -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
