[OpenAFS] Development status of mod_waklog and filedrawers

[Joseph Timothy Foley]

I followed these directions on my Ubuntu 12.04.1 32-bit machine and I still=
 get an odd error when I try to load the freshly built waklog module:

apache2: Syntax error on line 210 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax erro=
r on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/waklog.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/=
apache2/modules/mod_waklog.so into server: /usr/lib/libafsauthent.so.1: und=
efined symbol: rx_connDeadTime

Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
   ...fail!

Searching through the include files in /usr/include/afs did not turn up wha=
t this symbol might referring to.  What is more puzzling is that I can't fi=
nd a reference to this symbol in the waklog sourcecode in the first place.
Ideas?

I've collected the various emails/weblinks on this subject so far and put u=
p a wiki page for them:

I got mod_waklog to work on apache 2.2 at least.

I've found a lot of info in this posting:
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2009-May/031480.html

Stephen Quinney's patches are available here:
http://old.nabble.com/mod_waklog-tt33632100.html

Aaron Knister's patches here:
http://userpages.umbc.edu/~aaronk/waklog/patches_for_git

I downloaded mod_waklog from git, and applied the patches in this order:
patch -p1 < ../patches_aaron_knister/fix_build_scripts.patch
patch -p1 < ../patches_aaron_knister/have_stropts_h.patch
patch -p1 < ../patches_aaron_knister/gnu_source.patch

patch -p1 < ../patches_stephen_quinney/modwaklog-weakcrypto.patch
patch -p1 < ../patches_stephen_quinney/modwaklog-libs.patch


As I said, mod_waklog seems to work perfectly. However, I haven't got filed=
rawers to work yet. It does not seem to work with PHP 5.4.11 and Smarty 3.1=
.13.

I've read that it should work with PHP 5.x, but apparently not with 5.4, th=
ough I think I managed to fix that. (by loading some module statically inst=
ead of using "dl" - dynamically loaded modules, which is deprecated in 5.4)=
.

Smarty 3.1.13 seems to be more difficult, I just get strange error messages=
.

I've found a note somewhere that it does not work with Smarty 2.x, and that=
 version 1.x works. Maybe version 3.x has the same problem, and we need to =
downgrade to version 1.x.
