Summary 0004320: Split off an apache2 utilities package for tools like "ab"
Description Currently, helpful tools which are in-dependent from apache itself, like the benchmarking tool "ab" are part of the core apache2c package (which pulls in apache itself). IMHO it would be useful to provide a package - like Debian has it with apache2-utils - that contains these tools and only depends on the portable apache runtime.

I agree that this would be a good split. What do you envision as the transition strategy for those that are using the tools if we split them out? Hypothetically, moving them as per your suggestion could break scripts on people until they add the new package...

I think I could make apache2 depend on apache2-utils, but allow apache2-utils to be independent. I'll look at this again now that 2.2.17 is out with the other issues resolved.

The new 2.2.20 package set splits out CSWapache2-utils. CSWapache2 depends on it but it can be installed by itself.
