Description Ahmed Farid 2003-12-10 19:21:06 UTC

well i noticed the ${MPM} which is kinda hidden so i added "threads" USE flag to the ebuild to make it switch to "worker" mpm module instead of the default prefork.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE=apache2 emerge apache (without reading the ebuild)
Actual Results:  
ended up with apache2 with prefork mpm.

Expected Results:  
should get an option to use either prefork or worker.

This has been added to apache-2.0.49-r1. However, a diff would do nicely rather than adding the ebuild to the bug report.

Comment 4 Chris Gottbrath 2004-08-27 08:11:48 UTC

is there any potential conflict between this use flag and the perl 'threads' use flag?
