We've been going through some growing pains fumbling through porting some custom C modules that used to live under apache 1.3 into the 2.0 spec, even though none of us really considers ourselves a 'C developer'. We've basically got them all working now under the 2.0 API, and the question was posed about whether or not we should consider attempting to upgrade everything to run under httpd-2.2.
I noticed the httpd2 port is only 2.0.53 under CentOS, and I was wondering why that is?
Is there a 2.2 port? Is there plans to do one? Was it tried and found that there are significant obstacles in the way of getting 2.2 to run under CentOS 4.4? Is there a port of 2.2 planned for 5.0? Is it a question of resources, and should we undertake it, do you guys want the resulting i686 RPM's?

I'm sure we'll take a look at that briefly, but I'm recommending we stick with the distro's version just to avoid a lot of extra headaches. It also selfishly allows us to get the kinks worked with this major upgrade, and then have a sane/stable mapped out to upgrade to CentOS-5 with httpd-2.2.X, when CentOS-5 gets released. If we're really lucky, we'll get to play with the beta on the side for a while getting things ready, helping these guys out with feedback as necessary, and getting our stuff ready to roll on the new release something on the order of 6 months after it's out, just to make sure there's no significant surprises.
