 module anyway under specific conditions (new-version ==
 old-version ?). Any suggestion?

True, that's a problem. But I don't see an elegant solution right now. 
On remove, you would have to remember if the package was enabled and 
on reinstall, you would then need to restore the original state.

It would probably make sense to create one script in the apache 
package to handle all this, which can then be used by all the module 
packages. But I definitely won't have time to implement that in the 
forseeable future.

Re: apache module postinst/prerm scripts

2010-11-22 Thread Massimo Manghi
Hi Stefan

thanks for the answer.

I was thinking of the problem and I could only see as a solution the 
introduction of a small database of the installed modules where their state 
transitions are recorded. I don't know what database format is recommended by 
Debian Policy in these cases, but a simple ASCII file would work well to 
handle the state of the modules, even in the improbable case all the modules 
available have been selected at least once sometime in the history of a 
system.

I remember Debian Apache 1.x kept a module database in the form of a file 
listing the Load commands for the modules. If that approach was abandoned some 
good reason existed though

Can you envision an approach to the problem?
