Hello all,

Apologies on the necromancy here, but I finally did find the patches (after wrestling with the fact that I can't "see" the patch tracker website for some reason... is it still live?) that created it. The patches are hosted on Debian's git for packages[0]. There's some other stuff related to it one folder up[1]. I'm not exactly sure what exactly is needed, though...

Actually a Debian developer created a patch to make suexec configurable
but since it was not sent upstream, it is not easily available
everywhere else. Not sure why, but the patch is not even visible in
Debian's patch tracking system:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/apache2/2.4.7-1

So next step would be to ask the apache maintainer in Fedora whether the
patch would be accepted in Fedora and if not, a separate package needs
to be created.

Regards
Till
