Go look at the NetBSD apache and mod_ssl ports. apache (even if you don't plan on using it) is actually patched with the mod_ssl code to get the EAPI. Then, if you want mod_ssl, it becomes a simple matter of building the relevant bits and dropping them into place. I have here in my tree a www/apache which does just that, along with a new mod_ssl port, cleanups to mod_* and other things which now depend on www/apache (as opposed to www/apache13), and the complete and utter nuking of the following ports: apache-ssl tough. use mod_ssl like the rest of the world. apache13 replaced with 'apache' apache13-modssl replaced with 'apache' apache13-fp until someone who has the inclination to write a mod_frontpage port, possibly further modifying the base apache if necessary. apache13+ipv6 working on getting this integrated into the new 'apache' port. So, the technical work is pretty much done.. maybe another couple of weeks to polish it all off. Sadly, the bikeshed that has already started, many moons ago, with the complete brain-deadness of our apache collection, means that it's unlikely to ever go into the main tree. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX. ade@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
