[Bug 80609] Re: Port apache2 2.2.3 from feisty back to dapper

[Neil Wilson]

I appreciate the concern. However this is required in live operation,
and is being done manually by Ruby on Rails houses the world over. So
it can't be that much of a problem otherwise people wouldn't be
building businesses on the back of it.

Certainly I don't hear a lot of complaints of shared library failures,
(but that may be because that bit of the package isn't running.)

Perhaps the dependencies within apache2 are too tight, or perhaps the
package could do with splitting. Running a backport could help bring
that to light.

Real businesses like to use 6.06 LTS for all the usual good reasons of
stability and security. It seems a bit of a failure of free software
that they have to look to unofficial archives, and manual compliation
to get the job done.

What do you need to see to get this through?
