two small bugs will be discussed but they are closely related and should be fixed toghether. 1) the first one is a runtime dependancy bug: any "*dbd" module, for example "authn_dbd" is broken if dev-libs/apr-util has no database use flag. the following configuration snippet for example _require_ USE=mysql dev-libs/apr-util which will install "/usr/lib64/apr-util-1/apr_dbd_mysql.so". apr_dbd_mysql.so is then dinamically loaded by /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_authn_dbd.so. DocumentRoot "/srv/www/example.com/public/" <Directory "/srv/www/example.com/public/"> Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All AuthDBDUserPWQuery "SELECT passwd FROM users WHERE username=%s LIMIT 1" <RequireAll> AuthType Basic AuthName "auth-example.com" AuthBasicProvider socache dbd AuthnCacheProvideFor dbd Require valid-user </RequireAll> </Directory> One, possibly both the following action should be taken by apache ebuild when *dbd is enabled. a) the user should be einfo-rmed that *dbd apache2_modules require apr-util with database support b) pkg_pretend() should check that apr-util has at least one database client library enabled and die() if it has not. 2) The second one is related to "socache" module, it's a totally different module but very often used together with dbd auth (see previous snippet). Problem is it's missing from /etc/httpd.conf, a section like the following should be added <IfDefine CACHE> LoadModule authn_socache_module modules/mod_authn_socache.so </IfDefine>

So which apr USE flags related to DBs can be taken into account for the *_dbd apache modules? Right now we have lots of them: berkdb gdbm mysql postgres sqlite
looking into "configure" either one of these would satisfy: apr_dbd_{oracle,pgsql,mysql,sqlite3,odbc} The other seem to build a different "interface" apr_dbm Notice that it's not a test for correctness, but for certain failure. If the user want to use apache authn_dbd with /mysql/ _and_ build apr-util with support for /postgres/ than there is no way to catch this with dependancies. It's a runtime choice. However in if apr-util is built with no dbd module then apache authn_dbd will certainly fail.
