apache::asp maintenance

[Tsirkin Evgeny-2]

Hi list!
I was interested to know what is the apache::asp  maintenance status?
Is it still maintained?Is it dead?
I have some applications here written in apache::asp and killing it ,for now ,is not
an option.So ,are there people, except me, that are interested in the module?Are there
people out there using this and maintaining it?

Well, on the one hand, the last update to the library was over two years
ago, and the last post by its primary author was nearly a year and a
half ago.

On the other hand, I'm not aware of anything so badly wrong with it that
we need someone to step in and take over.  I think there are enough
people using the library that it'd be valuable to see some new
development, but I don't think the library is in danger of becoming
irrelevant just yet.  It still works, and it's still useful as it is.

Thanks Warren.

I plan to push another release in the next couple of weeks as the software
does need updating, in particular for it to work well with the latest mod_perl 2
release.  If you have other needs please let me know.

Well, for inertia reasons, we're still maintaining a lot of CentOS 3 and
Red Hat Linux 9 type systems, with mod_perls of 1.99_07 and _09 vintage,
which was before the big Apache2:: namespace reorg.  As a result, when
installing Apache::ASP, I have to manually edit ApacheCommon.pm to
remove all the '2's.  Also, the Apache2::ServerRec module doesn't exist
on these systems, so I have to comment it out.  Apache::ASP then works
just fine.

It would be spiffy if the library detected this situation and coped
automatically.

I tested this, and it works here:

eval {
     # Try new Apache2 module requests first
     require Apache2::RequestRec;
     require Apache2::RequestUtil;
     require Apache2::RequestIO;
     require Apache2::Response;
     require APR::Table;
     require APR::Pool;
     require Apache2::Connection;
     require Apache2::ServerUtil;
     require Apache2::ServerRec;
     require Apache2::SubRequest;
     require Apache2::Log;
};
eval {
     # Alternative if above fails because system is old, but not
     # so old that it's incompatible.
     require Apache::RequestRec;
     require Apache::RequestUtil;
     require Apache::RequestIO;
     require Apache::Response;
     require APR::Table;
     require APR::Pool;
     require Apache::Connection;
     require Apache::ServerUtil;
     require Apache::SubRequest;
     require Apache::Log;
} if defined $@;
