Hi Devs, |
| 2 |

The time has come (slightly overdue) to make Apache2 the default |
| 4 |
version on Gentoo. Because it is still ~arch masked, you only |
| 5 |
get it "by default" if you run the "unstable" flavour around here. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I'm sure most of you know that distros like RedHat and Mandrake |
| 8 |
(plus undoubtedly several others) give you this version by default, |
| 9 |
and provide Apache1 packages for those who still want it. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
On Gentoo Apache1 and Apache2 install to separate SLOTS, so you |
| 12 |
may have both installed at the same time. If you configure your |
| 13 |
webserver accordingly (we dont do _everything_ for you ;-)) you |
| 14 |
may run both at the same time, affording you the opportunity to |
| 15 |
migrate your server, and not simply cut-over. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In a perfect world there'd be no issues at all, and this email |
| 18 |
wouldnt be required. Having said that, I encourage you all to |
| 19 |
install Apache2, migrate your configuration and leave Apache1 |
| 20 |
behind. Basically this is your opportunity to provide feedback, |
| 21 |
an advanced warning, as it were. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Help us to understand where we are and where we're going with |
| 24 |
this. We're a little behind on this upgrade, so let's get moving. |
