Contributors looking for a mission: * Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source. * Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ * Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested". * Open bugs in the bug database. CURRENT RELEASE NOTES: * Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.2.x releases, such that no MMN major number changes will occur. Such changes can only be made in the trunk. * All commits to branches/2.2.x must be reflected in SVN trunk, as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk, get feedback and votes on list or in STATUS, then merge into branches/2.2.x, as applicable. RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS: PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ] PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: * mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects. Note - this is required to avoid hangups of socket #64, #128 as Microsoft set aside 64 reserved values. Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=428029 2.2.x version of patch: Trunk version works http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/mpm_winnt_waits.patch is easier to read (-U8) +1: mturk +0: fielding (patch is okay, underlying code is crap) wrowe notes: a patch should have the necessary effect with the minimum lines of code - there's alot of redecorating that's going on in this patch to no net effect. The WAIT_TIMEOUT result value seems to be ignored in the revised code? mturk notes: WAIT_TIMEOUT is replaced by WAIT_FAILED with the accompanied patch in mpm\winnt\child.c. fielding notes: the routine is brain-dead -- one cannot replicate a wait for many objects by iterating through multiple waits with a one second sleep in between loops. That's insane. The right ways to do that are explained in the MSDN article <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms687025.aspx> In any case, it should be checking nCount <= MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS first and use the simple wait in that case. mturk notes: We are interested in that only during shutdown so a one second simplification is acceptable compromise. The sole purpose of the patch is to allow the clean shutdown when the MaxClients is higher then 257. wrowe: conditional +1 if you rename the assanine function name so no one confuses it for its implied purpose. * mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. Trunk: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=466865 +1: minfrin niq: This wants a little tidying. Use of 13 as a magic number (for a strlen of something defined elsewhere) is nasty. More importantly you need to document how it affects the module's directives. I'll +1 it when that's done. wrowe: ditto's - good concept. * beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run(). Otherwise modules' child_init hooks appear to never be executed. Also, destroying pmain ensures that cleanups registered in modules' child_init hooks are performed (e.g., mod_log_config and mod_dbd). Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=491922 2.2.x version of patch: http://people.apache.org/~chrisd/patches/mod_dbd_pools_groups/mpm_child_init-beos-2.2.x.patch +0: chrisd (abstaining; unable to test) * multiple files, Trivial cleanups PR: 39518 - Christophe JAILLET http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=557837 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=557972 +1: rpluem niq: this isn't a straight backport (which is why I dropped it). +1 for core, modules/dav, modules/filters, and modules/ssl Not Applicable to modules/aaa * mod_proxy: Enable ProxySet inside <Proxy> section to create balancer or worker if they were not already created. This allows to have ProxySet directive before BalancerMember directives inside Proxy section. Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=427920&view=rev Backport version for 2.2.x of patch: Trunk version of patch works +1: rpluem, jim * mod_proxy: Allow optional name=value options within <Proxy section line. Additional arguments are allowed only for 'standard' url's, meaning that the wildchar urls will return error like before. This allow to specify the worker/balancer parameters on the definition line, without the need for extra ProxySet options. Trunk version of patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=427928&view=rev http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=428291&view=rev Backport version for 2.2.x of patch: Trunk version of patch works +1: rpluem, jim * mod_ldap, mod_authnzldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X. PR: 42891 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=560373 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=562165 A version of the patch specific to the 2.2 branch (i.e. the patch that would be used for backport) can be found at: http://people.apache.org/~rederpj/NestedGroups_2.2.xBranch.diff +1: rederpj -0: bnicholes - Unless this is considered to be a significant deficiency in the authnz_ldap 2.2 functionality, I would rather see this as new functionality going forward in 2.4 rather than backported to 2.2. We need new functionality to push us forward rather than give us an excuse to stay where we are. rederpj says: I'm working on a project based on Apache 2.2.x which needs this code and I would much prefer to use official Apache code than end up using a private patch. It isn't possible in the short term for us to move to trunk. It just happened that code I had written to add this function lined up with PR 42891. I was going to submit it and work to get it backported either way. rpluem says: I am still missing a minor bump due to the changes done in util_ldap.h. This is an extension of a public API. trawick says: The new directives should be documented in trunk, so that docs are available for backport at the same time. *) proxy_util.c: Backport cleanups (no functional change) Trunk: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=429875 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=429890 2.2.x version: http://people.apache.org/~niq/proxy_util.patch +1: niq, rpluem rpluem says: Better merge this proposal with the one below and explain it as is a prerequisite for it. Anyway I am +1 on both. *) proxy_util.c: Don't URLencode tilde in path component PR 38448 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=429879 +1: niq, rpluem PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED * PKCS#7: backport PCKS#7 patches from trunk. +1 ben jerenkrantz: What's the revision number to backport? wrowe asks: ditto jerenkrantz sctemme: svn blame suggests r424707 rpluem: Digging through the history suggests that r424735 r424821 r424823 need to be added to this. See also http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200607.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] and follow ups for more details. * mod_proxy: Support variable interpolation in reverse proxy configuration http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=421686 (code) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=422178 (code) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/manual/mod/mod_proxy.xml?r1=420990&r2=421725 (docs) +1: niq, mturk -1: wrowe notes; modifying the existing syntax makes collaboration impossible by an admin team - unexpected side effects and the rest. ProxyPassEnv* or ProxyPassSubstitute* directives that add this behavior on a pattern-by-pattern basis would win my -1 to a +1, and solve the performance hits noted by niq on an 80/20 basis.
