As a result, we have a number of=20 packages that simply do not function with the updated apache ebuilds,=20 rendering testing (on the apache side of things) broken. Currently, we have at least two (possibly three) weeks worth of work to do= =20 before we can mark things stable, so these breakages will likely exist unti= l=20 then. A number of people have suggested putting these updated ebuilds back into=20 package.mask, or lessening the impact of the upgrade from current stable=20 apache to the new ~arch apache. So, I would like to solicit advice from th= e=20 developer community as to how we can rectify this. The way I see it, we have three options: - package.mask (downgrades for those early adopters) - keep the same layout (/etc/apache2/conf, etc.) and wait until 2.2 is out= to change it - have the newer apache ebuilds migrate from old-style to new-style config (very hard to do, but possible) Personally, I'm for package.masking, heh. Let the flames commence.
