Bug#233077: apache2-common: Include for directories needs to be more selective
Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.48-7
Severity: wishlist
When I edited a file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ and put it under version
control in an RCS subdirectory I discovered that apache was attempting
to include the RCS directory and the foo~ (editing backup/scratch)
file. This is the documented behavior, but it is not good behavior.
As a work-around, I have changed /etc/apache2/apache2.conf to use
# Include generic snippets of statements
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/[a-z]*[a-z0-9]
You might or might not want to use this in the standard configuration.
Really, an ideal solution IMHO would be for upstream to change the way
Include picks out files to use something more like the logic in, for
example, run-parts. I suppose this could also be added as a Debian
tweak. Also, this could be made a separate command, leaving Include
as is (IncludeParts?).
