Releases around ApacheCon EU?

[Sander Temme <sa...@temme.net>]

Community,

As ApacheCon draws near, perhaps we should plan some httpd releases  
during the week?  Between beer and bitterballen there must be time to  
bat some patches around(1).  Going in with the intention of, say, a  
T&R on Wednesday after the Tuesday Hackathon should get us in the  
right frame of mind to get something out by the end of the week.

I'd like to try my hand at the T&R process so if no one objects I  
volunteer to play RM.

--> 1.3.x, any patches that justify a release?

--> 2.0.x There are some backports in need of votes.  There seems to  
be only one patch to APR 0.9.x since the last release, do we need one?

--> 2.2.x IIRC the initial intent was to roll 2.2.5 fairly quickly  
after 2.2.4, but that never happened.  Many changes to APR 1.2.x,  
we'll likely need a new release of that.

Thoughts?

S.

+ 1!

Dunno - will look, a bit of low hanging fruit that should be easy to get
committed.  Bugfix only stuff.

Yes, must have an APR - two new bugs.  One is that Jeff's patch many moons
ago to change pipe log processes to command processors had broken win32 in
service mode (we've chattered about this, I'm working on a fix within apr
instead of within httpd), and second the fix already in apr 0.9 branch
which solves client ip resolution with acceptex.

Agreed.

you proposed or committed many extra/*.conf changes to solve win32 path
issues (essentially, quoting arguments etc).  Need to just ensure that
the finished result is good to go.

I think this is a good idea... have people review STATUS and start  
voting.
Yeah, my hope was to get a 2.2.5 out semi-quickly, I think with the
various proxy changes, it's time, but I was holding off because there
are quite a few backports missing just 1 vote.
