[gentoo-dev] Add USE_EXPAND for apache

[gentoo-dev] Add USE_EXPAND for apache

Hi all,

the current behaviour of the apache ebuild -- chosing built-in modules based 
on /etc/apache2/apache-builtin-mods -- is very aweful, especially for binary 
packages.

Therefore, i would like to add APACHE2_MODULES and APACHE2_MPMS to USE_EXPAND. 
I have already converted the ebuild in my local overlay and it works fine.

Currently, there are over 60 modules available in apache. Out of these, a good 
default would look like this IMO:

APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_alias authn_anon 
authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile 
authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate 
dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info 
log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif 
speling status unique_id userdir usertrack version vhost_alias"

If noone objects, I will make these changes to base/make.defaults and commit 
the new ebuild during the next week.

Regards,
Benedikt

What with static modules? Will they be available?

You could also add access_compat, authn_core and authz_core.

yes, you can still USE=static globally, but it is not possible to decide per 
module anymore ...

If this goes through, please look over our existing apache-related
documentation and file a bug with any necessary changes.

[1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/apache-upgrading.xml
[2] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml, mostly chapter 9
[3] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/apache-troubleshooting.xml

Thanks!

I updated our documentation, thanks to the massive patch sent my way by
hollow. (Thanks, Benedikt!)

As mentioned in an email to hollow though, I notice that "speling" is
listed in the variables, but it is itself misspelled -- it should be
"spelling". ;)

Well, the name is mod_speling unfortunately :)
