Some upstream provides the httpd configuration file.

Ex: ocsinventory [1]
(even if this one is not 2.4 aware despite I have send them the needed
changes months ago...)

Some others projects (perhaps more common) provides some .htaccess files
in their sources tree (these files have to be 2.4 aware, and the httpd
conf file, is "mostly" a merge of all the .htaccess).


Notices:

1. <IfModule mod_authz_core.c> can be used on all distro,
the reason why I have proposed this one first, (and it have be adopted
in most of our packages).

2. <IfVersion < 2.4> is not usable (upstream) as some distro (debian)
don't provide mod_version by default... :(

3. "Deny from all" (from 2.2) works with 2.4, but only in Fedora/RHEL
because mod_access_compat is enabled (again, not in some other distro...
so the needed of "Require all denied")



Remi.
