Official Debian httpd.conf/conf policy?
For various reasons I need to have a rather custom apache configuration.
Doing this by modifying the apache source package is rather difficult since
I end up having to regenerate a bunch of .diff files. Also it's just not
quite the way i want to do it since I have no less than three 'classes' of
machine that need to have apache on them but with wildly different
configs...
It would be more advantageous to me (for many reasons) to have an entirely
separate package that configures apache. My question is what is the
offical debian policy? In stable there is no conf.d (which drives me
batty, and one of the things I change). I have to change a number of
options and add a number of them as well. So I was hoping I could replace
httpd.conf with a basic skel, drop my other stuff in a conf.d area, then
regenerate the modules section of httpd.conf to match what is installed in
the system/old conf file.
I think though that dpkg will stop me from installing my own httpd.conf,
not to mention that after I modify it further upgrades to the apache or
apache-ssl packages would spit errors or replace my conf file.
This is for a large group of machines (yes a web cluster) as well as some
other standalone machines, cfengine is not deployed, neither is any other
method. We have internal repositories and an internal woody/stable mirror
we source all of our installs off of.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
TIA!
