[Mageia-dev] apache 2.4 incoming

[Guillaume Rousse]

Hello list.

I just submitted apache 2.4 to build bot, meaning it should land soon in 
cauldron. The largest change in this release is not the version change, 
but the large cleanup of setup, inspired by both fedora and debian 
packages (meaning also getting rid of mandriva legacy...):

- all configuration now reside under a single directory
- the configuration is now split in three different /etc/httpd/conf 
subdirectories:
  * modules.d for modules loading directives
  * conf.f for generic server configuration
  * sites.d for site-specific configuration
- the files in modules.d only deal with module loading
- the files in modules.d use a lighter versioning scheme
- there is no extramodules directory for external modules
- no mix of 'httpd' and 'apache' directories anymore
- less verbose configuration files

I did not try to rebuild additional modules yet, not even to ensure 
smooth upgrade (excepted creation of vhosts.d and webapps.d symlinks to 
sites.d). As this work took longer than expected, I prefered not to keep 
svn directory out of sync with reality much longer...
