Bug#706962: apache2: Please add a libapache2-mod-macro transitional package for mod_macro's inclusion in Apache 2.4.5

[Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org>]

Source: apache2
Version: 2.4.4-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I'm the current maintainer of libapache2-mod-macro. mod_macro has been
included upstream and will very likely be shipped with the upcoming
Apache HTTPd 2.4.5 release:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1435811

It already shows up in the official 2.4 online docs:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_macro.html

As discussed with Arno on IRC, we both think that a transitional package
similar to libapache2-mod-proxy-html would be the best way to handle
this transition.

As soon as such a transitional package is available (in unstable? in
testing? not sure yet), I'll request the removal of libapache2-mod-macro
from unstable and testing.

		Regards, Axel
