Description Marc Krämer 2017-10-22 13:51:15 CEST

it would be great if you add mod_brotli to the apache modules.
It helps reduce the traffic on webservers and clients as well.
It is available since apache 2.4.26, see
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_brotli.html

Since this is an optional module, no harm can result in adding it.

Setting version to Cauldron, because new packages must be added there, first.
When it's in Cauldron, you can reopen this request and ask to backport it to stable.


Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Patch for apache spec

Comment 4 Marc Krämer 2017-10-29 01:11:04 CEST

I'v added & tested the module for apache 2.4.29 as it exists in cauldron.

In the spec file the name of the library "brotlienc" is expected to have the name "brotlienc-1.0.1" due to the build of brotli. I'm not sure if there is a more elegant way of defining this, or if this is a defect of the brotli-package to add the version number to the package name.
