Hi folks,
I have been googling for a few weeks now and not finding anything. Apache 2.2 is EOL at the end of this year.
Has Red Hat announced a plan yet on what they are doing in RHEL6?
I am assuming they will up-version from 6.9 to 6.10 and as part of that upgrade from Apache 2.2 to Apache 2.4 ?
thanks, -Alan
RHEL 6 is in Production Stage 3 where only security fixes will be done to packages. In the past that has meant that no upgrades etc are done in the final Prod 3 releases and backports of high level security fixes are done. So I don't expect any sort of upgrade.
I don't have any official knowledge, but I would suspect that they will maintain httpd-2.2 throughout the lifetime of RHEL6. Security issues would be backported. (If older versions of RHEL are any indication)
BTW - SCLo SIG provides additionally httpd24, at least until May 2019 ...
