In the four months I've been working for him, I have spent more time fiddling with our Linux servers than I spent in 4 years running FreeBSD on a number of servers. On one of my old FreeBSD servers, I wanted a regular Apache installation, so I had /usr/ports/www/apache13 installed. At the same time, I maintained a specially-configured Apache installation in /usr/local2 that was, among other things, statically linked with mod_perl. On the new box that we're putting together soon, we'll need to have apache2 going, so that's obviously something to install/maintain via ports. At the same time, we're going to need a couple of statically linked apache13 installations. Should I plan on repeating the what I did before, which is to maintain an apache installation separate from ports? Or is there some clever way to have ports install stuff in different places under different names? For instance, I'd like to have www/apache2 installed in the default location and install www/apache13-modperl with some PREFIX, telling it to disregard any CONFLICTS? Can I give a ports installation a different DISTNAME so that it's in the package database under some other name? TIA!
