Description Craig Andrews gentoo-dev 2012-04-18 00:07:27 UTC
mod_spdy is a SPDY module for Apache 2.2 that allows your web server to take advantage of SPDY features like stream multiplexing and header compression.

https://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/

A new version was released today, too: http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/04/add-spdy-support-to-your-apache-server.html

deb and rpm packaging has already been done.

Reproducible: Always

We'll need to enable NPN in mod_ssl first.
Comment 2 Craig Andrews gentoo-dev 2012-04-18 18:31:07 UTC
Add TLS Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) support to mod_ssl: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52210

I suppose until Apache makes a release that features the resolution of that bug, mod_spdy can't really be in portage.
Comment 3 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-19 06:49:04 UTC
Well, we could contemplate patching our mod_ssl. Having upstream accept the NPN patch is probably a prerequisite for that, though.

i've added a mod_spdy ebuild to the tree.  there is a live 9999 ebuild and one for the latest (0.9.3.3) release.  i added a script to create a snapshot from the git/svn trees so that we can do non-live releases for ~arch/arch.

the only system package i found it using was zlib, and i fixed that.

that just leave the NPN patch.  upstream has accepted it now, so i moved that work to a new bug.
