However, it also requires to +explicitely launch apache with -DHAVE_FOOBAR to be able to use the given +module, which seems however far less compliant with the general 'install +and run' general idea (and eventually too much technical for some part +of the target population). In order to mitigate this last point, our +current sysinit init script automatically compute the list of arguments +from the list of files present on the system, making it transparent for +the end user. In the same time, it seems also to defeat the original +purpose, as to my knowledge, you can't prevent it to automatically add +-DHAVE_FOOBAR to httpd command line... + +Now, with systemd, the general idea is to reduce additional ad-hoc +behaviour found in init scripts, to focus on just running the services. +As a consequence, there is no 'find everything installed to pass option +to override conditional loading' in place. And I'm relunctant to +reintroduce something whose sole purpose seems to workaround a +self-imposed constraint. + +So, we have the following choice: +- change current behaviour, by keeping conditionals in configuration +file. To use php, you have to install mod_php, and add -DHAVE_PHP5 in +/etc/sysconfig/httpd. This means additional configuration is required, +but also possibility to temporary disable without uninstalling. + +- keep current behaviour, by removing conditionals in configuration +file. This means no additional configuration needed, but also than +installing implies usage. + +What's the general opinion there ? +-- +BOFH excuse #367: + +Webmasters kidnapped by evil cult. +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="008026.html">[Mageia-dev] Please remove or move siproxd +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="008036.html">[Mageia-dev] changing apache configuration handling +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#8035">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#8035">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#8035">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#8035">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
