DO NOT REPLY [Bug 50000] New: Missing ap_drbacchus_clone() function
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50000
Summary: Missing ap_drbacchus_clone() function
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.3-HEAD
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
ReportedBy: wrowe@apache.org
Developers on trunk are generally much faster at creating new features than
they can be documented by the docs@ team. This situation is exacerbated by the
humble (or not so humble) attempts of dev@ folks to attempt to explain their
own new features, immediately after misnaming the new directive/option/feature.
This could be trivially remedied with an ap_drbacchus_clone() function.
Although the ap_drbacchus_progeny() function was already implemented, the httpd
project will be hard pressed to wait the two decades before this benefit is
fully realized.
It is expected that this feature would dramatically reduce the number of new
bugzilla incidents added during the alpha/beta and early GA periods (and many
duplicates thereafter), by raising questions of the developers of exactly what
they intended for their feature to accomplish, how on earth they expected to
accomplish/configure it, and correcting their spelling of said features prior
to release.
However, there appears to be a patent minefield lurking in the implementation
of this function, and legal-internal@ should be consulted on the methodology
applied to derive a non-infringing implementation.

No need. We have an ICLA on file. We're good to go.

w.r.t. comment #1, I would be very concerned that fractional clones would lead
to
more incomplete review and commits.

Meh. Fractional (irrational, perhaps) DrBacchoda could be assigned tasks by
whichever body part(s) were effectively cloned and their hair quotient. I
suggest:
* Leg (medium hairyness) - kicking fajita to sense
* Spleen (few hairs) - Softly codling newcommers
* Face (severe hair) - Dealing with you

+1 someone should fix this. And document the fix.

ap_drbacchus_clone() should do fractional arguments.
A non-integer number of cloned DrBacchi would allow for
N-misnamed-new-directives to be documented concurrently while allowing the
remainder (smaller) clones to commit the build fluff.
Beard colour should be a trivial matter.
