Contributing Packages
I have recently built and packaged httpd-2.4.9 from source provided by apache.org together with apr-1.5.0 and apr-util-1.5.3. I removed mod_socache_dc from the httpd.spec file so that the complete build provides the following packages:
apr-1.5.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-debuginfo-1.5.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-devel-1.5.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-dbm-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-debuginfo-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-devel-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-freetds-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-ldap-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-mysql-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-nss-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-odbc-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-openssl-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-pgsql-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm apr-util-sqlite-1.5.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm httpd-2.4.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm httpd-debuginfo-2.4.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm httpd-devel-2.4.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm httpd-manual-2.4.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm httpd-tools-2.4.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mod_authnz_ldap-2.4.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mod_lua-2.4.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mod_proxy_html-2.4.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm mod_ssl-2.4.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
Is there any interest in having these offered to the CentOS-6 community for inclusion somewhere (CentOS-Plus?).
One thought on - Contributing Packages
We will have httpd-2.4.6 in Software Collections very soon (when the SCLs 1.1 for RHEL is released from Beta).
In fact, people can use it now from here:
https://www.softwarecollections.org/repos/rhscl/httpd24/epel-6-x86_64/
I think that we should use Software Collections for new packages in CentOS instead of building replacement packages where SCLs are available. Thoughts?
