Thanks. That was what I was afraid of, but is sensible. From my point of view, I guess I could have a spare copy of 2.4.x to which I apply one patch at a time, purely for the purposes of patch submission? I probably can't hold up my work by waiting for 5 or 6 patches to be processed sequentially. Since patches are not submitted via svn, here is how I understand the process of patch submission:
1. obtain copy of 2.4.x via svn checkout 2. edit files involved in one change 3. create patch files with svn diff 4. submit patch files via bugzilla 5. via bugzilla engage with httpd developers to get the patch accepted (or not) 6. after patch is accepted and applied, the local copy needs to be reverted and updated (or just deleted and checked out again) so that future edits are against the newly patched codebase. For multiple patches, just repeat. Is that about it?
