Bug#387565: Bug #387565: No way to specify RewriteRules in /etc/apache2/conf.d/xxx
tags 387565 wontfix thanks further discussion among the apache maintainers gave the result that we would prefer package maintainers to include a config file snippet and ask the user to put an include /etc/package/apache.conf into the virtual host config file. This way updates would work without interaction, but it is more obvious to the user what is going on and it is less likely to break other RewriteRules. We might change our minds if someone has better arguments, but for now I will mark this as wontfix. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Bug#387565: No way to specify RewriteRules in /etc/apache2/conf.d/xxx
Hi, I am not sure that it would be a good idea to automatically add rewrite rules via packages, because it would be quite easy to break RewriteRules added by the user. For example, automatically added rules could not use the [L] flag. What kind of rules would you want to add. Maybe you could use RedirectMatch, AliasMatch, etc. instead?

Bug#387565: No way to specify RewriteRules in /etc/apache2/conf.d/xxx
Package: apache2 Version: 2.0.55-4.2 Severity: minor If a package needs to configure the apache2 for its own purposes like adding an Alias to the configuration this is usually done by placing a file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/. If one needs rewriting this approach doesn't work anymore, because RewriteRules won't be visible by the virtual host it 000-default, unless it has 'RewriteEngine On' and 'RewriteOptions inherit' set. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this from an installing package. Would be great if a way exist do extend the virt. host.
