civetweb upstream

[Ken Dreyer]

Hi folks,

It looks like Ceph has its own fork of the upstream civetweb project.
What was the reason for forking at the time? Has there been much effort
to get our civetweb changes upstream?

The biggest motivation originally was to get it integrated into our automake system, as it was using weird suffixes for some include file. When civetweb was split out of mongoose, they made some changes to the code structure that made it harder to embed into our system. Later on there were some relatively minor changes and bug fixes. We might be able to push some upstream as is, and some might need to be reworked so that they'd make sense in that context.

I posted on another thread about changing the upstream before reading
this, sorry about that, but I think this should be done before Hammer
release.
