I looked at the STATUS that Ken published today, and - surprise! -
the EAPI patches of mod_ssl are back there!
> * Ralf's [PATCH] to add EAPI (ctx, hook, mm, etc.) to the base package
> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> Status: Jim +1, Mark +1, Dean +1, BenH +1,
> Randy +1 (please choose name other than "hook")
> Doug +1 on concept (untested), Lars +1 on concept,
> Martin +1 (untested), Ken -1 for 1.3.7 (too controversial,
> esp. w/KEAPI offered as well)
Except for one "-1" which is not relevant anymore (because we passed
1.3.7 a long time ago), all the other opinions are "+1". Is there
anything we missed?
BTW: "I am not a lawyer", but since there are other uses for EAPI in
addition to mod_ssl, it is not a crypto patch anymore, and there is
no law against inserting it into the main source tree. In addition,
there is a (small) chance that on December 15 the American government
will relax its limitations on crypto in Open Source Software, so even
mod_ssl+OpenSSL have the option to enter the open world. Well, the
last thing (December 15) is more a wishful thinking, but I hope that
at least the chance of EAPI to become standard on Apache 1.3.10, is
more realistic...
