Would you avoid portupgrade for this?
I am a little shaky in the knees at this prospect. This is on a
production web server getting over 1 million page views per day. I use
mod_php4, mod_auth_pgsql, mod_gzip, mailman, and I have some other ports
installed like squirrelmail, mnogosearch, a bunch of pear libraries (not
even sure if they are dependent on apache13), phpMyAdmin and probably a
few other things I haven't even thought of. <gulp>
Once this is done do all these ports change to think they are dependent
on apache13-modssl rather than www/apache13?
