Contributors looking for a mission: | |
* Just do an egrep on "TODO" or "XXX" in the source. | |
* Review the bug database at: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ | |
* Review the "PatchAvailable" bugs in the bug database: | |
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Apache+httpd-2&keywords=PatchAvailable | |
After testing, you can append a comment saying "Reviewed and tested". | |
* Open bugs in the bug database. | |
* See also the STATUS file in the docs/ directory, which lists documentation-specific TODO items. | |
CURRENT RELEASE NOTES: | |
* Forward binary compatibility is expected of Apache 2.4.x releases, such | |
that no MMN major number changes will occur after 2.4.1. Such changes can | |
only be made in the trunk. | |
* All commits to branches/2.4.x must be reflected in SVN trunk, | |
as well, if they apply. Logical progression is commit to trunk | |
then merge into branches/2.4.x, as applicable. | |

PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK: | |
[ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ] | |
* mod_proxy: Allow balancers and ProxyPass to be server-specific, as | |
they should have been. Inheritance causes too many behind-the-scene | |
interactions to be reliable in a dynamic environ. We maintain the | |
old-default of inheritance. | |

rjung: directive help text describes "on" and then says: "(Not recommended if | |
using the Balancer Manager)". Since "on" is the default, should we probably | |
say "(Setting to Off recommended if using the Balancer Manager)"? | |

Server pools, new apr functions for the request_rec table, input/ | |
output filters, LuaCodeCache, LuaMapHandler and multipart form data | |
handling. This is long overdue, and has become too spaghetti-ish to | |
propose in chunks :| | |

2.4.x patch: http://www.humbedooh.com/mod_lua_sync.patch (+CHANGES) | |
+1: humbedooh, jim | |
A list of further possible backports can be found at: | |
http://people.apache.org/~rjung/patches/possible-backports-httpd-trunk-2_4.txt | |
If you want to propose one of those, please still add them here. | |
OTHER PROPOSALS | |
* opinion on more complete DefaultRuntimeDir use in 2.4.x? | |
o If a module has a config directive for the run-time file that | |
treats the configured path as relative to server root, preserve | |
that behavior but change the location when not configured to | |
respect DefaultRuntimeDir. With these changes, users with no | |
per-runtime-file configuration directives can control | |
everything with DefaultRuntimeDir. | |
BUT: Existing users of DefaultRuntimeDir might get a short-term scare | |
when some unconfigured run-time file starts respecting their | |
DefaultRuntimeDir directive after an upgrade. | |
+1: trawick, jim, rjung | |
rjung: applicable trunk revisions WITHOUT the compatibility tweaks | |
described above: | |
scoreboard r1369477 | |
core/pid file r1369808 | |
core/mutex r1370288 | |
mod_socache_XXX r1370225, r1407385 | |

igalic: We have three votes, what's the status here? | |
Independently, backport any doc tweaks to 2.4 API migration page. | |
PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED | |
* cross-compile: allow to provide CC_FOR_BUILD so that gen_test_char will be | |
compiled by the build compiler instead of the host compiler. | |
Also set CC_FOR_BUILD to 'cc' when cross-compilation is detected. | |

2.4 patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.4.x-cross_compile.diff | |

2.4.x patch: | |
Trunk patch works. | |
+1: ben | |
sf says: Needs r1345599, too. | |
And wrowe's comment about the 2.2 patch is also valid for 2.4: | |
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1354823 | |
* mod_ssl: Add RFC 5878 support. This allows support of mechansisms | |
such as Certificate Transparency. Note that new | |
mechanisms are supported without software updates. | |
trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1352596 | |
2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~ben/httpd-2.4-rfc5878.patch | |
+1: ben, druggeri | |
-1: kbrand | |
druggeri note: Needs docs for new directive | |
kbrand: depends on an unreleased OpenSSL version (1.0.2), and | |
RFC 5878 is of "Category: Experimental". Seems premature | |
to me to consider for backporting to 2.4/2.2 at this point. | |
The API in the OpenSSL implementation from May 2012 | |
(http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=22601) only covers the | |
privately-defined TLSEXT_AUTHZDATAFORMAT_audit_proof, there's | |
no support for x509_attr_cert (section 3.3.1 in RFC 5878) or | |
saml_assertion (3.3.2). SSL_CTX_use_authz_file doesn't have | |
any docs in OpenSSL, either, and there's no "openssl foo ..." | |
command or similar to create/manage such files. Trunk is | |
the right place where it can grow. | |
Finally, httpd-2.4-rfc5878.patch includes a build-system change | |
which is unrelated to this feature (see separate proposal from | |
rjung below, ssl-support-uninstalled-openssl-2_4.patch). | |
ben: not correct that it depends on OpenSSL 1.0.2, it builds with | |
any version. Also, if you read my note to dev@ you will see | |
why it is not premature. | |
minfrin: once this gets docs, +1. | |
* Makefile.win: Added copying of .vbs / .wsf CGIs to Windows install target. | |
Moved fixing of shebang to separate target so that it is | |
no longer executed by default and all CGIs remain inactive. | |
trunk patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1387984 | |
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1421203 | |

2.4.x patch: http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.4.x-Makefile.win.diff | |
+1 fuankg, gsmith | |
-.8: trawick | |
This commit is essentially deciding that an httpd install on | |
Windows now has printenv/testcgi written in 2 more languages. | |
To the extent that the usefulness is that it shows how to make scripts | |
of these types executable by httpd, I believe that the documentation | |
is the proper place to solve that. To the extent that the usefullness | |
is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe | |
that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the | |
place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems | |
for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection | |
of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks | |
once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache | |
messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that. | |
fuankg notes: I've just added a big warning to all CGI scripts which should now | |
make absolutely clear that these CGIs are for testing purpose only - so those | |
who enable those scripts with inserting the right shebang should be 100% aware | |
of any risks (this should cover your last point). | |
jim: trawick, does the above address your concerns? | |
trawick: to some extent (somebody reading the script gets an idea) | |
Why isn't the configuration requirement documented instead | |
of described indirectly in a sample? | |
Why are these new samples added to the install without three | |
votes? (I didn't veto it; put your name next to the two | |
existing ones and I'll be satisified that enough people | |
considered this addition as an appropriate solution for a | |
real httpd usability problem.) | |
wrowe: I'd agree with trawick, and suggest that these scripts can begin | |
their life somewhere in the manual/ tree. This really seems like | |
the place where /usr/share/httpd/examples/ would be useful, but | |
there isn't an ordinary directory for that. Since we want none | |
of the scripts to function 'out of the box', what about a new | |
cgi-examples/ dir alongside cgi-bin/? Otherwise manual/cgi/examples | |
might work? | |
