== Summary == mod_php (apache2handler) is an optional httpd module to execute PHP scripts, not used.

== Owner == * Name: [[User:Remi| Remi Collet]] * Email: remi at fedoraproject dot org

== Detailed Description == By default php-fpm is used for a few versions. mod_php is not supported for threaded modules. mod_php usage also increases security risk, sharing the same process than httpd.

Drop mod_php from php build. This will only affect user of httpd in "prefork" mode, which will also use php-fpm.

php-fpm is already used but most users of httpd and nginx without any issue.

The "php" package will be kept as a metapackage, installing (weak dependencies) most commonly used extension, thus reducing the difference between "yum install php" (flat repository) and "yum module install php" (modular repository).

== Benefit to Fedora ==

Only provide the modern way to execute PHP in a web server.

== Scope ==

PHP rebuild (mod_php build is already conditional)
