Here's that ballot I was threatening to send around. It lists the current
patches, and my votes --- replace those with your own. FWIW, my 11x build
is a quick way of trying out all of these (except the license patch, which
doesn't affect the actual code any).
+1 patch10.access_cleanup --- clarify init code and nuke bogus warning
in mod_access.c [Florent Guillaume]
+1 patch10.config-cleanup --- Corrects several directives in sample srm.conf
--- includes corrections to directory indexing icon-related directives
(using unknown.gif rather than unknown.xbm as the DefaultIcon, doing
icons for encodings right, and turning on AddEncoding by default).
[Roy Fielding]
+1 patch10.dir_cmd_tab --- Correct descriptions of args to AddIcon and AddAlt
in command table [James Cloos]
+1 patch10.dir_index --- Don't reset DirectoryIndex to 'index.html' when
other directory options are set in a .htaccess file. [Robert Thau]
+1 install.diff --- mention "contributed modules" directory [Brian Behlendorf]
+1 patch10.dist-readme --- ditto [Brian Behlendorf]
+1 patch10.license --- fix English in the license language...
"for for" --> "for". [Roy Fielding]
+1 patch10.log-noaccess --- Log access failures due to symlink checks
or invalid client address [Fielding, Thau]
+1 patch10.scripta-rst --- Fix ScriptAlias by moving ScriptAlias handling to
mod_alias.c, merging it almost completely with handling of Alias, and
adding a 'notes' field to the request_rec which allows the CGI module
to discover whether the Alias module has put this request through
ScriptAlias (which it needs to know for back-combatibility, as the old
NCSA code did not check Options ExecCGI in ScriptAliased directories).
[Robert Thau]
+1 patch10.solaris-loop --- Don't loop for buggy CGI on Solaris [Cliff Skolnick]
+1 patch10.symlinks --- make FollowSymlinks and SymlinksIfOwnerMatch check
the file being requested itself, in addition to the directories leading
up to it. [Robert Thau]
+1 patch10.symlinks-again --- make FollowSymLinks deal correctly with systems
where lstat of "/path/to/some/link/" follows the link. [Thau, Fielding]
(Rob H. said not to bother with his ScriptAlias patch, so, well... I haven't
bothered with it).
The vote closes in something like 24 hours from now.
