Always useful if Sander responds ;) Bottom line: I'm not going to tag before we branch.Thom May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: So what is the consensus with the renames? The patch is available from http://cvs.apache.org/~thommay/full-rename-diff and seems good - it builds and passes tests on (at least) BeOS and OS X. Also, httpd and svn don't need any changes to still work - the functions are all wrapped by the old names. So it's just binary compatibility that's the problem.But binary incompatibility breaks the notion of a stable httpd API. Can we hold off until Sander tags everything for an httpd release? (I guess Sander is still planning to tag.)
It all comes down to this:
- The auth changes _don't_ break 3rd party auth modules
- We can rename the auth modules and their directives back to their old names
so we don't break existing 2.0 configs
- We must add implicit loading of mod_auth_basic when no auth provider
was loaded
- AFAIK the renames don't break bin compat, everything is wrapped in stubs
So, we're ok. We can branch right now, because the state of the tree today
is probable what we want to use as the basis for 2.1/2.2.
Once we get the auth stuff renamed and the implicit loading in place I'll
tag 2.0.44. My guess is that this will probably happen next week somewhere.
Justin?
Jeff, OtherBill, does httpd-2.0 HEAD contain anything you'd rather not see
rolled into 2.0.44 (apart from the above)?
