OK, so it seems the current proposal is:
- prefix all configuration directives of mod_fcgid with "FCGID"
Any complaints about using FCGID?
- use CamelCase notation for all of them
- keep the old ones around for compatibility
- Is the best way of doing this by copying all the existing
AP_INIT_* in fcgid_cmds?
- Should we have a copied entry for each old directive in the docs,
or should we only have entries for the new ones, and inside
<compatibility> add a note with the old deprecated name?
I would prefer this and maybe a general section about the renaming
to put some moral pressure on people to fix their config.
Any other name changes needed? I guess SharememPath -> SharedMemoryPath
would also be good.
Concerning an sed script for migration support: I think we can probably
deliver a basic one, but a full migration script would have to cope e.g.
with configurations split up into diverse files.
