Bringing my Crux Enligthement+ repo back to live [Part I]

I wasn't doing anything with my home Linux machines for some time and recently decided to change it a bit. There are quite a few projects I hope to push a  forward. For example put all my pictures from CDROMs/DVDs into Dropbox, enable internal streaming from my RPi, install Linux on my Dell laptop.To achieve the last one I tried Kubuntu, but it's not so easy properly configure KDE nowadays (KDE5). I tried Enlightenment from Ubuntu PPA, but it connman seemed to be broken. So it seemed that I had to use Crux. Another option could be Arch, but I had already spent quite a lot of time configuring Enlightenment for Crux.

The package repository is located at wawrzek.name/crux/wawrzek/, and I keep my work in github wawrzek/crux-ports repository.

The first problem I encountered was issues with access to some .httpup related info:

I host my repo on Linux virtual machine and I could easily confirm that all files has right access privileges, so I eliminated OS level problem. All other files in the same directory were properly accessible, so I started to suspect Apache configuration and that was a case. Apache Debian/Ubuntu configuration has block preventing web clients accessing .htaccess and .htpasswd, but definition is rather generous (^\.ht or everything what starts with string ".ht"). I decided that the simplist resolution is going to replace it with more specific rule (^\.ht(access|passwd)) what matches only ".htaccess" or ".htpasswd". Updated block of configuration is below:

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<FilesMatch "^\.ht(access|passwd)">
        Require all denied
</FilesMatch>
