There is a very nice apache module named mod_xsendfile. Can this be added to portage? Reproducible: Always
Maybe if you could at least post the URL... ;)
OMG, sorry that I've left it out http://tn123.ath.cx/mod_xsendfile/
Reopen.
Working on this one....
Created attachment 120341 [details] Initial ebuild(tested on amd64) Here's an ebuild for the module.....
WOW that was fast. I'm a complete newby to creating ebuilds so I'd like to understand what you did... Serveral questions: - Is this ebuild in portage? - If not, how can I use it with my current installation? - Is that really everything? Where are all the hints in this ebuild where to put the source and the binaries to, I thought that there are a lot more options to configure for an ebuild? thanks, T
Well, the nice thing about Apache modules is that there is an eclass that does everything: /usr/portage/eclass/apache-mod.eclass That decides everything about where to put the stuff. No, it isn't it portage because: a) I am not a dev, just a volunteer bugfixer b) I have to wait for some dev to decide to put it in(if they think it is worth it) If you think it is necessary I can write up a config file. Cheers.
Oh, in order to use the ebuild, you must make your own overlay and put the ebuild in it.
Ok, I created a local overlay, and the moule works like a charm! Great work and I'm still stunned by the ease of installing it with a custom ebuild. I will keep you informed here, whether the module runs fine. In my opinion this should be added to portage...
