Hello all,
I know this may be a question just for Stuart, but here it goes:
In an announcement made in December, this was stated:
With this update, we are bringing some changes to the Apache
configuration:
- /etc/apache{,2}/conf is moving to be /etc/apache{,2}
- new httpd.conf replaces commonapache{,2}.conf and apache{,2}.conf
files
- /etc/apache{,2}/conf/vhosts is moving to be /etc/apache{,2}/vhosts.d
When is this going to happen? And with what build of Apache? Will the
Apache server packages stay in net-www or be moved to apache-www? Will
this only effect modules? How big of a PITA will this really be? How
soon will this happen, since it will effect the currently discussed GLEP
19? I'd think this is a major enough change that things should be moved
before a stable tree could be established.
Reasoning behind these questions is simple. We established our primary
web server before things were moved to /var/www and decided to have all
our sites under /home. All of our administrative scripts still work
under the current file system configuration, but we need to move
everything to /var/www and modify the scripts. However, since we do alot
of automated configuration of apache vhosts configs, it would be nice
if /etc/apache2 conversion could coincide with this change. I want to
start using webapp-config, so the change will be necessary, since it
doesn't allow overriding the default root of /var/www. Which isn't a bad
thing, we just predate all the changes and would like to catch up with
the times.
Wendall
