apache-2.0.54-13mdk.src.rpm

The great spring cleanup
------------------------

The most significant changes with this release compared to apache2 up to
Mandriva Limited Edition 2005.

 o The number two (digit 2) is gone in file and directory names.
 o apache v2.0.x is now the preferred and standard apache version in Mandriva
   Linux, support for apache v1.x has been dropped. However you can still
   install and use apache v1.x from the contribs (apache1-x) but it will
   require hands on and is not supported.
 o The previous proxified apache v1.x and mod_perl setup is gone. This package
   also has been renamed and moved to contribs.
 o The apache root has been changed from /etc/httpd/2.0 to /etc/httpd
 o Certain sub packages has new names because of technical difficulties, but
   also to give them more descriptive names, these are the changes:
   apache2         -> apache-mpm-prefork (stable)
   apache2-peruser -> apache-mpm-peruser (experimental)
   apache2-worker  -> apache-mpm-worker  (experimental)
   apache2-common  -> apache-base
   apache2-manual  -> apache-doc
   apache2-metuxmpm is gone, use apache-mpm-peruser instead.
 o The Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/%{version} tagging is gone.
 o The apache module mod_userdir that gives acccess to 
   http://localhost/~username style access is no longer part of the standard
   install because of security reasons. If you need it simply install it.
   (urpmi apache-mod_userdir)

The best practise is to read the apache manual before sending in bugreports,
please install apache-doc like so:

urpmi apache-doc

and then read the somewhat localized apache manual online at:

http://localhost/manual/

Thanks in advance.
