Thanks for your patch, and sorry for the slow response. However, we
believe that running a web server as root is really a bad idea. All our
other web servers (lighttpd, nginx, etc.) already default in Buildroot
to run as the www-data user. We don't think we should encourage users
to run apache as root.
For this reason, I've marked your patch as "Rejected" in our patch
tracking system. Of course, don't hesitate to get back to us if you
disagree with a good and valid use case for running apache as root :)
Thanks!
Thomas
