PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED
- * mod_ldap, mod_authnzldap: Add support for nested groups (i.e. the ability
- to authorize an authenticated user via a "require ldap-group X" directive
- where the user is not in group X, but is in a subgroup contained in X.
- PR: 42891
- http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=560373
- http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=562165
- A version of the patch specific to the 2.2 branch (i.e. the patch that
- would be used for backport) can be found at:

- +1: rederpj
- -0: bnicholes - Unless this is considered to be a significant deficiency in the
- authnz_ldap 2.2 functionality, I would rather see this as new
- functionality going forward in 2.4 rather than backported to
- 2.2. We need new functionality to push us forward rather than
- give us an excuse to stay where we are.
- rederpj says: I'm working on a project based on Apache 2.2.x which needs this code
- and I would much prefer to use official Apache code than end up using a private
- patch. It isn't possible in the short term for us to move to trunk. It just
- happened that code I had written to add this function lined up with PR 42891.
- I was going to submit it and work to get it backported either way.
- rpluem says: I am still missing a minor bump due to the changes done
- in util_ldap.h. This is an extension of a public API.
- trawick says: The new directives should be documented in trunk,
- so that docs are available for backport at the same time.

* beos MPM: Create pmain pool and run modules' child_init hooks when
entering ap_mpm_run(), then destroy pmain when exiting ap_mpm_run().
Otherwise modules' child_init hooks appear to never be executed.
