|
| 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
|

| 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.The packages are currently hard masked, and will be moved to unstable (i.e. ~x86) quite possibly this weekend.
apache-2.0.52-r3 and higher in the 2.x line apache-1.3.33-r1 and higher in the 1.x line
As to where apache itself will move hasn't been completely decided on, but it will probably be www-servers. The modules are all going to move to www-apache. The moves will take place after we've stabilized all the packages from the refresh, we want to work all the bugs out caused by the refresh before causing possibly more bugs by moving a bunch of packages.
There is extensive (albeit still slightly incomplete, as I'm still finishing it) documentation of our refresh at http://dev.gentoo.org/~vericgar/doc/apache-package-refresh.html
| 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.

You can use it know, just unmask per the instructions in the apache-package-refresh document. Most everything is rather stable, we have been pretty much waiting on completing our documentation and giving other devs a chance to modify their ebuilds to use the new eclasses.
