Hi -
It has been four years since Apache 1.3 went EOL. Is it time to get rid of the '2' in, e.g., 'apache2', 'httpd2', 'apache2ctl', etc.?
The official docs at http://httpd.apache.org do not use it.
Impact on users could be minimized by including symlinks from httpd2 -> httpd, etc.

+1 from me, sounds reasonable and using symlinks (for a release or two?) would mitigate the transition
+1 from me, too. If we have to do such a numbering again, please include the minor version, too (e.g. apache26). Looking back that would have spared us some headaches (here: 2.0.x -> 2.2.x, esp. 2.2.x -> 2.4.x) The changes in apache config made it VERY painfull to upgrade. "Seamlessly" is something else. Apache seems to excel in as-painful-as-possible-to-upgrade. To be able to use apache2.4 paralell to apache 2.6 would have spared me many headaches. In reality is was easier to convert my serve-as-is virtual name servers to thttpd. Sorry for the rant, but there are about 6 weeks of worktime lost due to 2.2 -> 2.4 and the config changes. - Yamaban. PS: Please do the support team a favour and include a big warning in SLE 12 that reusing prior config for new apache http servers (2.4.x) (e.g. resuing SLE11 config) will NOT work and will NOT be supported. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
