Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.2.3-1~exp.r170
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

I noticed that a limited effort has been made to split up the apache2
config, resulting in a limping modular/monolithic configuration system.

As a systems administrator I find myself changing a few common things
in the config whenever I set up an apache2 server. When the number of
apache2 installations is sufficiently large, it becomes *extremely*
useful to have the common changes in one file, and per-host changes in
a different file. A modular configuration system would help a lot with
such an approach.

It makes it easier for an administrator to decide which parts to leave
at defaults and which parts to customize.

A modular configuration system also helps when upgrading: unchanged
configuration files can be simply replaced. A single large config file
is unlikely to remain unmodified.

I made a straightforward split of the configuration files of both
version 2.0 and version 2.2 (from experimental), which you may find at:

	http://www.fruit.je/download/apache2-modular-configs.tar.gz

The splits are fairly basic, no statements were added or removed and
almost all stanzas are left intact (the charsets stuff was mixed with
some random filetype statements in the configuration file, had to
untangle that).

Obviously I'll be more than happy to adjust this thing if you have
any comments.

The included README replicated here for convenience:

Notes:

- ports.conf was moved to conf.d/

- conf.d/charset was renamed to conf.d/charset.conf

- All config files must be named *.conf; this to prevent
  problems when dpkg creates a foo.conf.dpkg-old file.
  The postinst script might want to offer to rename existing
  files.

Changes: 
 apache2 (2.2.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Modularize config: Move module specific configuration from apache2.conf
     to mods-available/*conf (Closes: #338472)
   * Remove the NO_START kludge. Now you have to use rc*.d symlinks to disable
     apache2. (Closes: #408462, #275561)
   * Create run and lock directores in apache2ctl to make it work on fresh
     installations before the first call of the init script. Together with
     the previous item, this closes: #418499
   * Disable AddDefaultCharset again (Closes: #397886)
   * Make ports.conf, conf.d/charset, and /etc/default/apache2 conffiles
     managed by dpkg
   * Listen on port 443 by default if mod_ssl is loaded (Closes: #404598)
   * Add logic to start htcacheclean as daemon or cronjob. The configuration
     is in /etc/default/apache2
   * Fix security issues:
     - CVE-2007-3304: prevent parent process to send SIGUSR1 to arbitrary
       processes
     - CVE-2006-5752: XSS in mod_status
   * Add init.d dependency info from insserv overrides to /etc/init.d/apache2
   * Replace apachectl with apache2ctl in docs (Closes: #164493)
   * Add usage message to apache2ctl (Closes: #359008)
   * Make -dev packages priority extra
   * Add secure example cipher/protocol configuration to ssl.conf
   * Update watch file (Closes: #433552)
   * Bump dh_compat to 5
   * Add new package apache2-dbg with debugging symbols
   * Fix mod_cache returning 304 instead of 200 on HEAD requests
