Change Apache Httpd Binary Provider

[mytlogos]

The package https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/apache-httpd is currently outdated.

It is based on the project https://www.apachehaus.com, but that project is currently on hold indefinitely, so the new release 2.4.56 is currently not available and not any newer ones. (Current latest of the package is 2.4.55).

Can you switch to another apache2 project for windows for the chocolatey package?

I think switching from one project to another maybe possible, but it all depends on the specifics / context. Is there another project that has taken this over?

@pauby any news on this? Before knowing about this issue, I started a pull request to change the source from ApacheHaus to ApacheLounge. It was of course denied but that was a few months ago. I'm not savvy enough to create a new package.

@thkn-hofa I'm unsure what news you are looking for?

The comments from myself and @AdmiringWorm above indicate that a separate package should be created for this.

[thkn-hofa]

It was my impression that you took ownership over making a new package. Guess I was wrong...

[pauby]

I didn't suggest I would create a new package. See this comment

[yakatz]

I would be happy to handle it.

Could you let us know if this is something you would like to work on (or if someone else comes across this discussion)?

If you are, we can create an issue based on the discussion here that any PR created needs to target.

I created a new package on my fork. Once there is an issue to link to, I can open a Pull Request.
