i know that managing the list of loadable modules and package-related
apache configuration settings is a rather difficult thing to do, and i
think that it's caused headaches for package maintainers and users
alike.
so i'm wondering, is there any reason not to use a conf.d approach
for apache? you could say something like
Include conf.d/*.conf
in httpd.conf, and then all a package has to do is drop a file in
/etc/apache-*/conf.d and reload the web server. no modules-config
(which has a misleading name anyways), no wwwconfig, no maintainer
scripts mucking with users config files.
what do you think?
