Hi All,
Can anyone tell me why the modsecurity2_module is not in the Debian
repositories? I understand that parts of it might not be GPL'ed, but
why can't it be carried in the non-free repositories if that's the
problem? Debian carries things such as fully proprietary drivers in
non-free, so why the problem with modsecurity?
IMHO this is a very useful package.
If you're using etch, you can put this line in your
/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://etc.inittab.org/~agi/debian/libapache-mod-security2/ etch/
It actually has a link to that site on the official mod_security
website.
Thanks. I was unaware of that link. I will make use of it.
Do you know why modsecurity isn't hosted directly?
here's a bug report on it:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=352344
OK. It's as I thought. It's a problem with the licensing. But, why
can't it be moved to non-free rather than just being dropped
altogether? All kinds of proprietary software is in non-free, and the
Apache license is at least open even though it's not the GPL. I mean, I
can "contaminate" the kernel right from the Debian repositories, so why
am I not able to at least install open source software from there? I
don't understand this at all.
