[opensuse-packaging] apache2-mod_authnz_external depending on Apache version
Hi, this is probably answered before, but I didn't find anything in the archives and Packaging Guidelines. apache2-mod_authnz_external comes upstream in different versions for different apache versions: 3.3.x is for Apache 2.3/2.4 3.2.x is for Apache 2.2 Currently in https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Apache:Modules we have version 3.2.6, working and compiling only for apache 2.2. So it does not build for newer distros, i.e. openSUSE 13.1 and newer. I branched and updated my branch to 3.3.2. It builds for the openSUSE 13.1 and newer and for most Apache_* targets. What is the best way to bring 3.2.6 for older distros and 3.3.2 for newer distros to the Repositories? I thought about including version number in the package name. That would probably mean to also change name of the existing package? Is there is a way to build different versions depending on either distribution/repository or even better depending on apache version?

Typically, there would have to be two packages that conflict with each other: apache2-mod_authnz_external (for 3.3), requiring apache2-mpm >= 2.4 and nothing else and apache2-mod_authnz_external-3_2 (for 3.2), requiring apache2-mpm < 2.4 and conflicting with apache2-mod_authnz_external. This is (very loosely) indicated by http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Package_naming_guidelines#Multiple_packages_...

Indeed it would. (And it's just a copy of the existing package before you SR the new version.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Is there a reason why you use "apache2-mpm >= 2.4" instead of "apache2 >= 2.4"
and
apache2-mod_authnz_external-3_2 (for 3.2), requiring apache2-mpm < 2.4 and conflicting with apache2-mod_authnz_external.
Do we really need the conflict when we have the requirement on apache version? There will only be built either the old or the new module (meaning XOR).

I prepared both versions in OBS: 3.2.6 for apache 2.2: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:asvetter:branches:Apache:Module... 3.3.2 for apache 2.4: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:asvetter/apache2-mod_authnz_ext... Are maintainers ok with that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

No reason; I now see that apache2-MPM is also unversioned so it wouldn't work. "apache2 >= 2.4" it is.
apache2-mod_authnz_external-3_2 (for 3.2), requiring apache2-mpm < 2.4 and conflicting with apache2-mod_authnz_external.

Probably not.
