Description Bernhard Hartleb 2013-11-26 08:57:48 UTC

Changes with Apache 2.4.7
  *) APR 1.5.0 or later is now required for the event MPM.

As seen in the first line of the changelog, apr-1.5.0 or greater is needed in order to use the (default) event MPM with apache-2.4.7. The build fails with the following message:

checking if event MPM supports this platform... no - APR skiplist is not available
checking if mpmt_os2 MPM supports this platform... no
checking if prefork MPM supports this platform... yes
checking if WinNT MPM supports this platform... no
checking if worker MPM supports this platform... yes
checking whether to enable mod_lbmethod_byrequests... no
checking whether to enable mod_lbmethod_bytraffic... no
checking whether to enable mod_lbmethod_bybusyness... no
checking whether to enable mod_lbmethod_heartbeat... no
checking which MPM to use by default... event
configure: error: MPM event is not supported on this platform.

Please add the correct dependencies to the packages.
I suspect many people simply use the newest apache, since none of the 2.4 versions were not stabilized yet.

Keywording dev-libs/apr-1.5.0 manually fixes the build issues and the event MPM seems to work correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =dev-libs/apr-1.4* =www-servers/apache-2.4.7
2.
