Upon reflection, I think the best thing to do in the immediate term is
to make inquiries in the Debian developers' mailing list. When I see
what's involved in making a source deb, I don't want to go through that,
and become some sort of maintainer for it, if the current Apache
maintainer or others are shortly going to correct the problems anyway,
or split off a new package. I also don't want to step on toes.
If anyone has a specific and immediate need for the 1.3.9-8 *binary*
deb, I'd be glad to mail or post it.
If and when I see a need for it, *after* checking with the Debian
developers, I'd be willing to put in some more effort on this; obviously
Debian users would like a current, working mod_perl.
Oh. I just found out through the Debian mailing list archives that
there is a recent *working* apache deb at:
http://www.netgod.net/x/apache_1.3.6-12_i386.deb
(By the way, see what a mess it makes when everyone doesn't reply
*after* the original message? That's a hint, *Doug*! ;-))
