[chef-dev] Apache and Subversion cookbooks

[< >]

Hi all,
I've got a question for you about apache and subversion cookbooks.
I've downloaded the subversion cookbook from 'opscode' site and I've added the
authorization; 
here my steps:

1. templates/default/subversion.conf.erb
   - add the AuthzSVNAccessFile property

2. recipes/server.rb
   - create the authz file for authentication
   - add authz_svn_module module (svn_authz.load file) for authorization
 
Now I need to load the authz_svn_module module in apache.
Unfortunately I cannot simply add the line: 

apache_module 'authz_svn' 

because apache server loads all modules in alphabetical order (authz_svn 
module
requires the dav_svn), so I've added these lines:

apache_module "svn_authz" do 
    filename "mod_authz_svn.so"
    identifier "authz_svn_module"
end

these lines create the svn_authz.load file instead of authz_svn.load file
within the same contents:
LoadModule authz_svn_module /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_authz_svn.so

and load it module after dav_svn.
It ok, it works! 
But there are some apache cookbook versions (i.e. 1.1.2) where the attribute
"identifier" is missing in the apache_module.rb file and so I've got:
LoadModule svn_authz_module /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_authz_svn.so  
and the svn_authz_module doesn't exist.

Now, I ask you if it's good to update the apache cookbook or create a new
custom apache_module.rb file only for authz_svn_module.

Thank you in advance,
