It might not be used in the field anymore. Glad with the changes or we can possibly make it an alias too then removing it for 9.x. wdyt ?

Here I was thinking like this. That this --enable-apache2handler option is presumable not used anymore around. And this --enable-apache2-2handler is kind of like targeting specifically 2.2 version. With removing it, it makes the user aware that previous setup won't work anymore, if theoretically someone builds Apache 2.2. Now, there is mainly this --enable-apache2-4handler used, which I've added it like this so it is simpler to migrate and still possibly have (but this is not confirmed at all) Apache 2.6 at some point. Yes, I have no ideal solution here. Perhaps we can add it like an alias also... 🤔
Apache 2.2 has been marked as EOL in December 2017 and doesn't receive security patches any longer. Also, most *nix distributions and packages mostly support 2.4 as minimum by now. On Windows, this removes the configure option --enable-apache2-2handler and merges the --enable-apache2handler and --enable-apache2-4handler into a single option with favoring the --enable-apache2handler. - The upstream MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER is deprecated in favor of MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER_MAJOR in apache2/ap_mmn.h - The initial upstream MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER_MAJOR was 20111025 in Apache 2.4.0 - The upstream APLOG_USE_MODULE is always available since Apache 2.3.6 - The upstream CORE_PRIVATE is unnecessary and ignored since Apache 2.4.0 See: https://forum.apachehaus.com/news-general-discussion/apache-2-2-users-your-time-is-running-out/ Discussion: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/124067

I'll merge this then as it is and we can adjust it in case we run into some unforeseen build issues somewhere. I think this won't cause much issues with 2.0 and 2.2. But hypothetical Apache 2.6 future release might need adjusting code and specially configuration on Windows. At this point I'm not sure how that would be resolved. We can even add a new Windows configure option at that point if that will be needed. |
