Synopsis: apache no longer installed by default by sysinstall State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: jkh State-Changed-When: Sat Jan 3 22:45:12 PST 1998 State-Changed-Why: There are good reasons for this: 1. It was getting harder and harder to keep apache and sysinstall in sync. Not only was the name of the package changing all the time (which had to be hardcoded into sysinstall) but the layout of the config files was also a moving target. I got sick of trying to maintain this dependency. 2. This should never have gone into sysinstall in the first place as having sysinstall know intimate details of various package installations is about as wrong as it gets. The Apache package merely needs to grow some self-configuration smarts so that when you either add it from sysinstall *or later on*, it brings up the same basic config dialogs that sysinstall used to. This isn't done yet, but it's the way to go.
