Is this a mistake or intentional? It's historical. apache2 used to install his own version of apr. When=20 I grab maintainership, I decided to keep the old path to respect POLA,=20 since apache 2.0.x was already stable. apache21 port is designed to replace devel/apr or to use it if=20 installed from port. Currently apache 2.1 is a "moving" version and it's port follow the same way. The day apache 2.2 will be considered as stable, port will be frozen, and keep the same options, or at least backwark=20 compatible options. To answer Paul, I'll blindly depend on devel/apr when I can descently=20 rely to apr-*-config or whatever to know run time options. Another=20 point is that, IMHO, I need to guarantee apache users backward=20 compatiblity, like multiple bdb versions support. Current apr/ports framework need to support this. First of all is to=20 finish USE_APACHE=3Dapr. After that, we'll try to unify apr/svn/apache. clem --da4uJneut+ArUgXk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDaSZSsRhfjwcjuh0RAv5wAKCjAfnDuP2z/0OM+TcIbKSqvKIshQCeMQBY XJukY3+vqfhJyJBWNzTJcGM= =pmlP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --da4uJneut+ArUgXk--
