Hello devs,
I've been given the go to add mod_macro to httpd trunk, see r1435811.
The module is in modules/core. There are English and French documentations
and extensive non regression tests. The module is compiled in with most. It
is fully independent, i.e. I have not changed or modified core stuff for the
module. I think it is safe and may be considered for backporting to 2.4, as
well as the Warning directive added some time ago.
Forwarding to docs for the few folks that pay more attention there than here.
I'm not sure about how to advertise the use of the module. Possibly something
in the standard default configuration, maybe some carefully designed example
macros could be defined and use here and there to show how great that can be?
Lets put something in conf/extras with an as-simple-as-possible example in it,
and a pointer to the docs.
Also, maybe some mention of the module should appear in configuring and
sections in the documentation?
I envision something, eventually, along the lines of the Rewrite recipe-style
docs with howtos for various scenarios. I haven't yet looked through the docs
that are already provided, but will do so this week and work on integrating it
into the rest of the docs where it is relevant. I expect that the vhost section
is an obvious entry point, as that's where I see mod_macro used most
extensively in the wild.
