[gentoo-dev] New apache stuff in testing -> please package.mask it

[Cc'd -core in case some devs read that more]

Hi folks,

I've filed a bug[1] requesting that ebuilds with updated apache stuff 
(anything using the new apache-module or depend.apache eclass/the new install 
layout) be package.mask'd due to the regressions and breakages in testing.  I 
may have missed packages in the bug, hence this mail - you know best if your 
using new stuff. :)

Please package.mask said ebuilds ASAP so we can get apache itself into 
package.mask.

Thanks,
Elfyn

Even though I stated my opinion that I would like to see the new changes
package masked again, the consensus that I read on the thread disagreed
with that approach.

My unsolicited opinion based upon the previous thread is since it is
already out of the bag, leave it in ~arch and actively work the bugs so
that you can get it to the point of being able to mark it stable.

Regards,
Paul

Seems, I've been speaking to the wrong people then.  Anyways, this has 
prompted loads of bugs being fixed, which might mean apache will go stable 
instead.

Best,
Elfyn

Could you please see about a definitive list of bugs that are solely
due to the new Apache? (beyond just PHP).

You had a tinyurl link to a bugs page, but it seemed to include other
bugs that had nothing to do with the new Apache (mod_suphp for eg).
