Oi this is where lawyers are born.. because it looks like we are going
to have enough corner cases that the policy is going to be 10 miles
long to cover them all.
EPEL packages can Conflict with RHEL-AP packages, but they can't willy
nilly replace them. I would rather have an explicit conflict with
mod_wsgi and mod_python in packages than have broken systems. Would a
Conflicts cause any other issues between two repositories?
Question: For mod_wsgi/mod_python Can we do something like this (note:
I don't know what the real apache syntax would be or if it's quite
possible):
<IfNotModule mod_python.c>
LoadModule mod_wsgi.so
</IfNotModule>
Note that this can still cause breakage if apache parses mod_python's
LoadModule after mod_wsgi's though.
