> Raising a ticket to express interest...
> For some time, the value of an ASF shipping Windows httpd binary has been negligible, as various lgpl and gpl components could be combined by other parties and assembled as a more complete version of httpd.  It has been a few years since the httpd project has shipped Windows binaries.
> With the introduction of code signing, this becomes interesting once again for httpd to ship what are the official sources built for Windows, particularly with the introduction of a persistent runtime in Visual C 14.  I'm willing to take this on if the Code signing service agreement can be extended.
> Note that an httpd 2.4 package consists of about 48 programs and dynamic libraries, and some 108 modules.  Internal to the installer there is a script rewriting binary and the install package itself, for a total of soon to be 160 signed objects per release.  Releases of 2.4 occur about 4 times a year with releases of the legacy package (2.2 at present) which occur 2 times a year.
> Given the number of components, some batch submission mechanism is required to consider this effort.
> Please provide feedback about the commitment to renewing the Symantec service, and I would like to participate in this offering, going forwards, if the commitment is there.
