apache-2.2.20 - upstream config files reappear in /etc
 

So after upgrading against the Range header vulnerability, I find that
apache-2.2.20 seems to litter /etc/apache2 with standard configuration
files, while I don't remember anything at least in 2.2.1x range doing that.

My git log shows I did a Gentoo-config migration about 8 months ago.

Can anyone shed some light (discussion URLs?) onto why apache2.conf,
extra/ and original/ are installed again? Maybe some eclass thing?

Same thing happend to me, but it seems this new config files are not
included per default. I am not really sure what to make of this. Which
file should I edit from now on?

All files seem to be valid, there are no ophans in my apache2 directory
(excluding my froxlor and ssl config)

# find /etc/apache2/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 qfile -o | egrep -v
"froxlor|ssl"
#

And if you google for "gentoo apache 2.2.20" guess what you'll find?
Yeah, that right, this Thread! :)

I guess it was just happened through an oversight because of the rushed
release. I just removed those files without ill effects.

Indeed, these files seem completely useless on a Gentoo system. I have
filed a bug:

I was gonna wait to see what other are saying about this. Then totally
forgot about this thread.
But I'll keep an eye on this bug, thanks for filing.
