With the 2.4 branch released by upstream almost 4 years ago, stable |
| 14 |
Gentoo systems will soon be upgraded from apache 2.2 to apache 2.4. |
| 15 |
When upgrading, some configuration changes will have to be made. |
| 16 |
Upstream has a handy guide: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
For more information on all the new features, start here: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
After emerging Apache 2.4, you will also need to rebuild any |
| 25 |
third-party modules: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
emerge -av1 /usr/lib/apache2/modules --exclude=www-servers/apache |

Remaining question: how do get the timing of the news item to line up |
| 32 |
with the stabilization? Or do we just start by sending out the news |
| 33 |
item, then file the stabilization bugs so that people at least have |
| 34 |
advance notice? |
