Greetings Zoltán,

Unfortunately as it stands the repackaging of same version software does
not work for the IUS community model.

The reason being is this patch would require Apache to be built as httpd-mpm-itk (or some other naming convention)
and Provide httpd, however we can not Conflict with the base Redhat EL httpd without conflicting with ourself at the same time.

The model we work with is a major version increase, such as below:

   Name: httpd3 
   Version: 3.0
   Release: 1
   Provides: httpd = %{version}-%{release}
   Conflicts: httpd < %{version}

However with Apache 2.2 being the latest stable (and the release in base
Redhat EL) there is not a effective way for us to package this patch.

Unfortunately we will not be able to add this patch to a IUS Package.

Title:
  WL: apache2-mpm-itk

Status in IUS Community Project:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  DESCRIPTION: apache2-mpm-itk (just mpm-itk for short) is an MPM
  (Multi-Processing Module) for the Apache web server. mpm-itk allows
  you to run each of your vhost under a separate uid and gid — in short,
  the scripts and configuration files for one vhost no longer have to be
  readable for all the other vhosts.

  REASON: I have been using apache2-mpm-itk in debian for a year and it
  is a good security solution for vhosts but i would like to use it in
  my centos servers, too.
