[arch-general] Still no word on Apache httpd 2.4
It has been released as stable since 2012-08-21 (over two months ago) http://httpd.apache.org/ and flagged out of date since mid September (over a month ago), and I've e-mailed the maintainer offering to help update if they're busy, yet I get no response. I would have imagined that something as big as Apache httpd would be updated far more frequently, at least in testing, and there are lots of new features 2.4 brings to the table - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html James Cleveland
Some modules aren't compatible with 2.4. Around a month ago I heard at least mod_php and mod_fastcgi are having problems, but I don't know if those have been fixed yet. If you want to help, build 2.4 yourself, rebuild and test all modules we have in the repos and contact their upstream maintainers in case of problems. -- Florian Pritz

To quote Jan: Me: "Why don't we have apache 2.4 yet?" Jan: "Because nothing works with it."

Perhaps it would be better to have a legacy package while the bad modules catch up? Or split into apache22 and apache24 (non-ideal). Either way, it would be nice to have apache24 in the repos for people who don't use outdated modules.
