There is always hope :) BUT when I reviewed the changelog, it didn't
appear worth the effort. If you can point to a specific RELEVANT bug or
security fix to OS/2 and your use case, it will increase the chances.

If the only reason is that it's a newer/higher version number....

Cheers,

Paul

I see on CSIRT* newsletter a number of bulletins that recommend to upgrade apache for some kind of security
flaw and i see in the changelog a number of security fixes
on https stuff.

Maybe they are of no interest on /2, i couldn't say it these flaws also afflict
the /2 environment.

Hi Paul,

with the help on chatbots should not be easier to do porting to "/2"?

E.g. I'd need mod evasive (apache 2.4.61) for security reasons.

Hi Max,

I was sure I've built mod_evasive previously, however I can see there is
no module for it. The biggest impediment is not AI or otherwise, it's me
having the motivation and time to do it. As things turn out, I'm
currently off work for a couple of weeks, so I *may* have some time to
look at it, but as I'm not currently at home, it will depend how/if I'm
able to boot up my ArcaOS machine and how good the connection speed is
over VPN.

Cheers,

Paul

I'm pretty sure you did, but it may have been for 2.2. Lewis uses or used
to use mod_evasive back in 2020 or so, so it's possible he did the build.

Indeed, Paul, you built it for Hawking (2.2). We haven't had a need for it on the 2.4 box so far.

Every time I try to build these modules, I am reminded of missing parts of my tool chain (probably just path issues, though).
