Mmm,

0.6.2's Makefile still carries:

CFLAGS= -g -DMULTI_ADDRESS_BIND -DVIRTUAL_HOST

as the default behaviour. This is almost certainly not a good idea.
I thought someone'd changed that line?

Can we go back to 1.3R's default:

CFLAGS= -g -O2

Ay.

How about throwing in the new Makefile, and calling the old
one Makefile.old?

There is a patch tacked onto the end of the Makefile that needs
to be applied to httpd.h in order to use the -DINSECURE_SHORT_STR
define.

Disclaimer - This makefile has been used on BSDI 1.1, SunOS 4.1.3,
and NetBSD.

One of my original versions of this file allowed this, but someone
expressed concern that this could then be set to anything as you
have indicated that you would prefer....

IMHO - If you want to diddle this number, you should do it in httpd.h.

Any objections to that ? (I'm still using an old Makefile, and haven't
kept up to date on the state of the new one)

I'll call it Makefile.ncsa rather than .old though.

Definitely agreed that the base case should be the default.

Only if it's not a public release :)

Seriously, shall we aim for a 0.7 by Friday?

Since Saturday morning we've had 85 downloads of apache_beta.

Hmm, so the choice this patch gives is 512 or 8192.
... I liked 257 myself.

Would anyone object if I changed it so that -DINSECURE_SHORT_STR
had to define a size e.g.

-DINSECURE_SHORT_STR=257

?

this is getting messy. Maybe it should be Makefile.new after all.

better to have them chosen randomly than fixed somewhere ?

I don't like that idea, but I might be too late to object now.

Call it 0.6.3
