For OpenBSD, "No More Apache Updates"

Posted by Hemos on from the the-end-of-an-era dept.

joshmccormack writes "On June 6th Henning Brauer, an OpenBSD developer announced on one of the OpenBSD mailing lists that the version of Apache shipped with OpenBSD will stay with 1.3.29, due to Apache's license changes. There will be bug fixes, but no more updates. Discussion on blogs, websites and mailing lists on what's next bring up some interesting ideas and strong opinions. Difference of opinion and control have been catalysts to the growth of OpenBSD in the past. Will this be like the birth of pf in OpenBSD, or even the start of OpenBSD itself?"

    I think it is now time to fork once again OpenBSD. I'd suggest the new name to be OpenApacheBSD.

    Cheers.

    Ah, you're confusing THTTPD (threaded hyper text transport protocol daemon) with THPTT (threaded high pustulence tongue transport) :)
