Bug#786635: libapache2-mod-jk: default configuration jk.conf should be updated to follow Apache 2.4 syntax scheme

[Markus Koschany]

Package: libapache2-mod-jk
Version: 1:1.2.40+svn150520-1
Severity: wishlist

I am reporting this bug as a reminder for future updates of
libapache2-mod-jk. Lintian reports

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/apache2-deprecated-auth-config.html

for this package. The example configuration file in the source package
conf/httpd-jk.conf is installed to /etc/apache2/mods-available/jk.conf
by default. This file still contains the old Apache 2.2 syntax scheme
with directives like Order, Allow or Deny. These do not integrate well
with the new authorization scheme of Apache 2.4. The configuration
directives should be replaced with a suitable combination of
<RequireAll>, <RequireAny>, Require all, Require local, Require ip,
and Require method.

I filed a bug report and forwarded this issue upstream. This is
currently not a big problem and the configuration will be changed by
users anyway but the default configuration should be updated for
Apache 2.4.
