Bug 100568 – net-www/mod_security -> net-www/modsecurity

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

I know it's common to see apache modules named mod_xxx, but modsecurity isn't 
called mod_security.  Their webpage, their tarballs and all references to it 
around the web are "modsecurity".  Calling it mod_security only makes it hard 
for people to find it/find references to it (such as on here).
I suspect the installed module name is only called mod_security to look prettier 
in the config files with the other modules, but I'm only guessing.

Is there a good reason to not rename it to modsecurity?

Yes, a lot of work for zero gain...

Are you ignoring the points I put accross, or don't you think any of them are 
valid?

Thanks for the bug report.

If we move the module from the net-www/ category into www-apache/, that'll be 
the opportunity for us to rename the package.  We'll take another look at this 
when/if we move the package.

Best regards,
Stu
