I thought I saw a squadron of pigs soar by this morning. Too little, too late, I think, though, as nginx & friends have devoured their market share over the years, and it's going to take a good year or two for distros to start supporting 2.4 - probably 7 or 8 years for RHEL!
- batista 15y agoWho cares for distros? Lots of people employ custom stacks. You run the distro provided Nginx? Or the distro Ruby/Python/etc? Really?
- orthecreedence 15y agoAgreed. I compile and package just about every piece of server software by hand. There almost never a case where my ./configure options match the default options.
- madaxe 15y agoNo, we package up all of our own debs, as waiting for distro maintainers is like waiting for Godot. My point was that I honestly believe Apache's days are numbered, as their release cycle is practically moribund.
- killitwithfire 15y agobrilliant. Shouldn't you be catching up on your codeacademy classes?
- billpatrianakos 15y agoWhy wouldn't distros support it? I'm not sure what you mean by that. I don't know, your comment sounds more like you have an irrational preference for Nginx because it's what the cool kids use rather than having any real issues with Apache. I do hope that distros start including 2.4 right away in their package managers but even if they don't that doesn't mean we can't install it with just a few extra keystrokes.
- absconditus 15y agoApache continues to hover around 65% of the market while its next nearest competitor, Microsoft, hovers around 15%. nginx is below 10% and climbing very slowly. http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2012/02/07/february-2012-web-server-survey.html http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2012/02/07/february-2012-w...
