Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev

Apache upstream did some changes that cause the PHP variables (e. g. SCRIPT_NAME) to contain different values with 2.4.17 which breaks a lot of applications.

Upstream bug:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57785

Upstream commit that introduced this problem:
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-cvs/201505.mbox/%3C20150504220514.E8DA3AC010F@hades.apache.org%3E

I'd propose to either revert the upstream commit or mask the packages until upstream fixes this issue somehow.

Let's keep this bug open until a fixed version >2.4.17 is in the tree.

For my servers I've now backported the fix from apache and use 2.4.17. In case anyone's interested, ebuild + patch:
https://svn.schokokeks.org/repos/overlay/trunk/www-servers/apache/

The patch is just the upstream commit minus doc changes.

(I leave it up to the apache maintainers whether we want to push this into the portage tree or just wait for 2.4.18)

I've added apache-2.4.18 to the tree and removed 2.4.17. Let's see if that new version behaves better.
