showstoppers?

[Cliff Woolley <jw...@virginia.edu>]

Hey guys...

   How are we doing on those 2.0.22 showstoppers?  I kind of lost track of
which of the hundred things that came up today were showstopper fixes and
which of those actually got committed.  =-)

+1.  It's bitten me as well.  As has mod_auth_digest when there's no good
source of randomness on the system (that was on Solaris 2.6 IIRC).

mod_auth_dbm has bitten me twice recently, with compiler errors.  If you
Google on the errors involving ndbm.h, you will see that Apache is
usually involved.  I think that this module is a PITA, and is causing
our users more headaches than it should.

<rant>

I recently put Linux Mandrake 8.0 on my ThinkPad, tried to build Apache
2.0, and guess which module wouldn't compile?  (hint: see above) 
Googled, found out which obscure *-devel rpm on the 2nd CD provided
ndbm.h this time around, installed the rpm, then the final link of httpd
had unresolved references for dbm_open, dbm_close, etc.  Couldn't figure
it out, disabled mod_auth_dbm, the build went fine.  Later Victor & Jeff
found that my libdb1.so had no exported symbols.  sheesh, what next? 
Yeah, I know, this one sounds like a Mandrake packaging error. 

</rant>

My point is that this stuff seems to be rarely used outside of Apache,
is in flux, and is a pain to folks who don't use it.  Should we disable
mod_auth_dbm at autoconf time if the headers are missing?

I have done:
./configure --prefix=/home/apache20/apache20 \
        --enable-mods-shared=all

And it shows problems with dav/fs and dav/main.
The work around I use is:
./configure --prefix=/home/apache20/apache20 \
        --enable-dav=shared \
        --enable-dav_fs=shared \
        --enable-mods-shared=all

It also activates modules like auth_dbm even if no database support (compile
errors).

If you will wait till tommorow about noon, I'll apply Brian's fix for the inherit
stuff and get rid of the last 15 (down from 72) compiler emits on Win32 :-)
