I also found myself looking at this package recently too; whether it's
under the perl group, debian-apache, or some other team, I'd be happy
to assist.

 - Is there somebody who wants to lead this?

Ideally not me.

thanks

I attempted to reproduce this bug in a fresh sid chroot and was unable
to do so; as there isn't any additional detail which can be used to
figure out what exactly happened here, I'm downgrading and marking it
as unreproducible.

Apache Maintainers: Feel free to override this determination.

 I might add, that we had a Debian booth at the ApacheCon Europe this
 summer [1] and it was considered to be a usefull and easy job [2].

I may be able to be there; possibly some of the people from SCD will
be able to make it as well. It is kind of short notice though...

Is there more information on exactly when the exposition floor is
going to be open?

It just wasn't clear to me[1] if the exposition floor would be open
during all of those times. [Occupying a booth for 5 days is well
beyond the call of duty.]

Bug#226131: Patch in diff, but doesn't get applied in source.make

2004-01-30 Thread Don Armstrong
reopen 226131
thanks

Looks like the patch doesn't get applied in source.make in
debian/rules, even though you've got it in debian/patches/mod-perl/

[I think this bit me when I was first testing it as well.]

Something like:

patch -d $(D) -p1  debian/patches/mod-perl/r_dir_config_fix.diff

is needed in debian/rules

 Yeah, lemme do that.

Ok, I've gone through and tested this, and yes, the patch does work as
advertised.

Just for reference, upstream's patch is here:

Bug#226131: $r-dir_config('foo') returns undef instead of 0 when PerlSetVar foo '0'

2004-01-04 Thread Don Armstrong
Package: libapache-mod-perl
Version: 1.29.0.1-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

An apache configuration with:

Location /
 PerlSetVar foo '0';
/Location

Causes $r-dir_config('foo') to return undef unstead of zero. However,
$r-dir_config returns a hashref with the appropriate values set.

Apparently, the following patch[1] fixes this issue, but I have not yet
tried it myself. (It looks reasonable though...)
