Re: 3.2.6 test period - how long do we wait?

[Jim Gallacher]

I assume we will be doing a 3.2.7 release if Graham's fix for the 
ConnectionHandler / MODPYTHON-102 problem works?

If that is the case I wonder if we should roll in the changes to support 
apache 2.2. I scanned mod_python for deprecated or removed apr calls and 
can find only one (apr_sockaddr_port_get), plus the missing 
APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS macro.

The original macro is:

#define APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS(s)           ((s) == APR_SUCCESS \
                || (s) == APR_OS_START_SYSERR + NO_ERROR)


The discussion on httpd-dev suggested that this macro should be 
substituted with a simple test such as "if (rc != APR_SUCCESS)", and the 
'||' condition was not likely used. So that we are making the fewest 
possible changes to our current 3.2 codebase, I'd suggest reimplenting 
APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS in our code, and then removing it 3.3. This will 
give us lot's of time as we work on 3.3 to discover if there are any 
problems droping the APR_OS_START_SYSERR part of the test.
