I've had a look at the above website and suggest the following:
o RTR's FrontPage support for Apache will never be made a part of
Debian due to the licensing
o apart from the patch to the Apache mod_frontpage.c, there is no
source code so you're stuck with the operating systems and
architectures that they release binaries for (in this case, Linux
binaries are only available for i386)
If you want to go ahead with this, you'll need to:
o download the Debian package sources for your distribution
o unpack the -orig.tar.gz source file and apply the Debian .diff.gz
patch to the sources
o apply RTR's mod_frontpage.c patch, which will also modify a few other
bits and pieces (include/httpd.h, main/http_request.c, main/util.c)
o fix any breakages in the above process
o modify debian/rules to include FrontPage support, as per the RTR
documentation (probably just include "--add-module=mod_frontpage.c")
o run debian/rules to build the apache and apache-common packages, and
see if it works
Also see bug #35904 [1] ... ignore the KLEZ worm attachment in there,
it's got nothing to do with the bug report. =)
Enjoy ...
Andrew.
