Bug 150943 – [PATCH] Split htpasswd/htdigest out of apache

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Mike Lundy 2006-10-11 20:28:29 UTC]

This splits htpasswd and htdigest out of the apache ebuild.

Lighttpd wants them in order to use those auth types, and I don't really need apache installed for that. Also, bug 150320 would benefit from this. The other www-servers would, as well.

I've kept the versioning the same as apache's. There is no need for these tools to be slotted, so I have removed the slotting.

I'm attaching the net-www/htaccess-2.0.59 ebuild, as well as a patch against the apache-2.0.59 ebuild to support this. The htaccess ebuild includes a blocker for the unconverted apache-2.0 ebuilds. Something should probably be done about the apache-2.2 ones, since those don't fall under the block (they're still pmasked).

I have no idea if the selinux stuff still pertains, so I left that in.

Oops, one small change should be made- debug should be removed from IUSE.

ka0ttic: As the lighttpd maintainer, is this something you would like for your package? I'm willing to do it, but only if it'll actually be used.

[Comment 5 Stuart Herbert (RETIRED) 2006-10-12 07:07:57 UTC]

One request - please put this in app-admin or somewhere ... anywhere other than net-www.  net-www is a historical dumping ground that we're trying to eventually clear out.

Best regards,
Stu

CC: Missed www-servers herd when I read the metadata. Opinions? Any other servers that can use this?

Re: location/package name - I agree. app-admin/htpasswd is what it should be.

Category sounds good from here.  Please let us know when you've got htpasswd & co. split out and we (or I) will add package.mask-ed versions of lighty.  I guess a cursory scan of other www-server packages wouldn't go a miss, either...

Who exactly is this waiting on?

[Comment 9 Christian Heim (RETIRED) 2007-05-07 14:10:09 UTC]

This is in the tree now as app-admin/apache-tools, which contains htdigest, htpasswd, ab and htdbm. If you want something else additionally in apache-tools, open a new bug and assign it to me/us.
