I'll shortly be starting work on moving apache-related packages. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
To make life easier for everyone - at the expense of a one-off bit of pain - |
| 12 |
I'm thinking of splitting the apache packages into TWO categories: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
- www-apache1 for apache1 packages |
| 15 |
- www-apache2 for apache2 packages |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
This will be a giant leap towards getting rid of the apache USE flag pain, and |
| 18 |
the associated noise / bugs that result from this. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The main downside with this proposal is that I haven't figured out an |
| 21 |
automatic way for users to upgrade to the correct apache1/apache2 packages |
| 22 |
after the split. Any ideas would be welcome. |
| 23 |

Best regards, |
