Description of problem: The devel package for Apache httpd is inconsistently named across distributions, and this means it is a headache to create Apache modules that can be deployed across multiple distributions. I recommend adding "Provides: apache-httpd-24-devel" as a virtual dependency to the httpd headers RPM package but am open to suggestions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Develop and Apache httpd module 2. Depend on httpd-devel Actual results: Dependency failures on non Redhat distros. Expected results: RPM build works everywhere. Additional info:

apache-httpd-24-devel is a rather odd choice. I don't see any precedent for that. A virtual provides of httpd-devel would seem to make more sense, and it would only be required for us and SUSE, as RH/Fedora already have that as the actual package name.
Thanks for your observation, David. I cannot see at all where to assign this request; WDYT ?
