State of this project? #4
Conversation
Does anyone know what the state of this project is? The last updates dates back 6 years. There are quite a few forks, but none seem active. There was a PR from 2020 (jzdziarski#3) but that was closed without merge. Can we still considder the project as stable? It's still installable from the standard apt repositories on Debian, but given that the README in the repo still mentions Apache 1.3 and 2.0, but doesn't mention 2.4, doesn't quite feel right.

I was the one who created PR #3. I can't remember why I seemingly immediately closed it, but I do know that I had tried but failed to get in touch with the original maintainer back in 2018. I then decided to simply keep my own fork and create new releases from there. The latest release so far happened in 2020, which was also the PR #3 here. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to work on the project since then, but I'm still very much interested in maintaining it and welcome any and all patches, improvements and other PR's on my fork (https://github.com/jvdmr/mod_evasive). As an aside, my fork has been tested on Apache 2.4 and does mention this in the README 🙂 |

@jvdmr maybe we should also add @inittab to this conversation as he is the maintainer of the Debian package, and it currently lists this repo as upstream https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libapache2-mod-evasive and he also has patches on it I think https://sources.debian.org/patches/libapache-mod-evasive/1.10.1-4/ so it might be nice to join forces. I also have a bit of Apache module experience, so I can also offer help |

@jvdmr, i used your version but apache crashes as soon as the module is enabled. I then used https://sources.debian.org/src/libapache-mod-evasive/1.10.1-6/mod_evasive20.c/ and that works. |
