<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Guillaume Rousse at 16/07/12 22:50 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> Hello list.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I just submitted apache 2.4 to build bot, meaning it should land soon in
</I>&gt;<i> cauldron. The largest change in this release is not the version change,
</I>&gt;<i> but the large cleanup of setup, inspired by both fedora and debian
</I>&gt;<i> packages (meaning also getting rid of mandriva legacy...):
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> - all configuration now reside under a single directory
</I>&gt;<i> - the configuration is now split in three different /etc/httpd/conf
</I>&gt;<i> subdirectories:
</I>&gt;<i>  * modules.d for modules loading directives
</I>&gt;<i>  * conf.f for generic server configuration
</I>
I would prefer conf.d :p

&gt;<i>  * sites.d for site-specific configuration
</I>
Cool.

It's at this point however that I ask if we should ever have any
/usr/lib/httpd/conf/ structure added? It's a kinda tough on here as
apache config is very much meant to be edited, but if packages (and
packaged modules) are shipping config files, perhaps they should be
installed in /usr/lib instead and made non-editable (i.e. not %config)
where admins are meant to provide any customisations they need into
files in /etc/. While this is the general approach that is being
attempted in other areas of the system, I'm not 100% convinced it really
works well for apache setups!

Still some food for thought :)
