PHP is still not recommended for production use with Apache 2 |
9 |
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php). |
10 |
|
11 |
That said, PHP 4.3.2-r2 runs fine for me under Apache 2 on Gentoo (so far). |

Good for them ;-) |

RedHat and Mandrake have already "migrated" to rpm. Does that mean Gentoo |
21 |
will be too in the near future? |
22 |
Sarcasm aside, is "keeping up with the Jones's" really that important? |

I'm sure I'm not the only person who has no plans to migrate away from a |
29 |
working (and very stable!) Apache 1.3.x solution in the near future. I have |
30 |
production servers running on this stuff, and being able to still use Apache |
31 |
1 on Gentoo is important to my business. Apache 1 & 2 installing into |
32 |
separate slots is great news (why doesn't 'USE="-apache2 apache" emerge -p |
33 |
apache' offer to install Apache 1 tho? It offers to rebuild Apache 2 |
34 |
only.). But already I'm coming across (unstable) ebuilds that have been |
35 |
written to only install with Apache 2 (even tho they're building software |
36 |
that works with Apache 1 as well). |
37 |
|
38 |
Is there going to be some sort of "policy decision" on whether new ebuilds |
39 |
should still support Apache 1 as well (where possible, of course), and for |
40 |
how long? And, yes, I'm willing to volunteer to help maintain support for |
41 |
Apache 1 in other ebuilds if that's what it takes. |
42 |
|
43 |
Best regards, |
44 |
