Description Lawrence Ho 2002-07-13 18:20:01 UTC
mod_deflate is not listed as experimental in Apache doc:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html

Should "deflate" be removed from the WITH_EXPERIMENTAL block in the Makefile?
.if defined(WITH_EXPERIMENTAL)
SHARED_MODULES+= case_filter case_filter_in deflate ext_filter charset_lite

I found that mod_deflate is not installed by default for apache2 port. It is
not in my /usr/local/libexec/apache2. I think it's related to the line in
the Makefile I mentioned in the pr.

You can't get deflate module even if "deflate" may be removed from that line.
No matter what the site says, configure script of
_official_ apache2 distribution still doesn't install "deflate"
module on "install all modules".

Apache guys said, "Modified Apache can't be called Apache". :)

Okay, I found "deflate" carries Extension status, not Base, so it was not
installed by default. But the fact that it is not Experimental anymore
remains unchanged, would it be better to modify the Makefile to accurately
reflect the status of this module?

Also, I'm confused by other apache2 settings. "dav" and "ssl" also carry
Extension status and get installed anyway when installing the port. Not a
big deal as there is a nice WITHOUT_SSL option in the port's Makefile. But
what about "dav"? I cannot find WITHOUT_DAV or something like that.

This is different from the "default Apache install" (./configure && make
install, I mean), anyone care to explain to me why is that? Why some modules
are "beloved" and get installed by the port by default while others are left
alone? Thanks.
