<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Guillaume Rousse at 14/09/11 09:06 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> - keep current behaviour, by removing conditionals in configuration
</I>&gt;<i> file. This means no additional configuration needed, but also than
</I>&gt;<i> installing implies usage.
</I>
I much prefer this.

e.g. the file /etc/httpd/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf just drops the
&lt;IfDefine HAVE_PHP5&gt; bit.

I really don't know what additional benefit the defines give you. Sure
you could then relatively easily run two version of httpd (e.g. on
different ports) one with a cut down install (e.g. no PHP for a static
site or similar), but IMO it's much more common to use a separate server
(e.g. lighthttpd) for this.

Varnish also kinda masks why this would be needed due to allowing lots
of different configurations of the underlying system.

So, as I cannot think of any real-world benefits to the defines, I think
they should be dropped.

That said, if he's about online, it might be worthwhile asking Oden
about it to see what he things generally (not Mageia specific)?
