 |In *your* case, you (or possibly the maker of your distribution) have

 |srm.conf is deprecated.  Debian unstable *still* uses srm.conf.

Is it not possible that debian still uses the good ole method ??  
(personally I like the old configuration system... but time are a
changing! )

[kingsly@shrine tmp]$ wget 
http://httpd.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/linux/apache_1.3.6-i586-whatever-linux2.tar.gz
[kingsly@shrine tmp]$ tar -zxf apache_1.3.6-i586-whatever-linux2.tar.gz

But you are right about it not being *deprecated*.... I used the word
because I couldn't think of any other.

This is still true....

[kingsly@shrine tmp]$ grep srm.conf apache_1.3.6/conf/httpd.conf-dist
# @@ServerRoot@@/conf/srm.conf and then @@ServerRoot@@/conf/access.conf
# srm.conf, and access.conf in that order.  The latter two files are
#ResourceConfig conf/srm.conf
[kingsly@shrine tmp]$

But it doesn't mean anything because the srm.conf file is processed
anyways... the ResourceConfig directive only overrides the defaults.

And it's the same in case of apache-2.x too.
