Re: Apache::Reload - filtering include directories: msg#00265

apache.mod-perl

Subject: Re: Apache::Reload - filtering include directories

I did send the patch to Matt couple of days ago, but haven't heard back yet.

I suppose I can also brace myslef, add namespaces, and clean up my own code.

As for the versioning, if this patch could be useful in both mod_perl 1.* and 2.0,
can it be applied to both distributions? I don't quite understand why installing
Apache::Reload from CPAN will cause mod_perl2.0 to be installed, but I'll
try to think some more about it.

I just figured that one extra directive, plus one patched line was a cheap solution to my
problems.

I guess if nobody else sees any value in it, I'll just keep the private patched version for myself :-)


No, no, I was asking whether you can re-use the existing options without adding new ones. Nobody has asked for this feature since the package was created. It certainly has a value. e.g. you may want to watch only Apache:: packages from a certain private directory.

I guess you should send the patch to Matt and I'll sync the version in mod_perl 2.0 (CC me). Though we need to figure out how to resolve the versioning conflict. so when you ask for Apache::Reload from CPAN.pm, it won't install mod_perl 2.0. Ideas?
