Sorry about not replying sooner.

The only issues I have left with these ports (Apache13, mod_ssl,
mod_frontpage, mod_php3, mod_php4, mod_jserv)are:

1.  Add option to Apache13 port to build with libdescrypt (when available)
instead of with libscrypt (libcrypt -> libscrypt).

    Needed to support those sites that want to use mod_frontpage, but don't
want their system passwords to be des encrypted.

2.  Fix installation of module documentation so they are installed in to:

    ${PREFIX}/share/doc/apache/manual/mod/${module}

    This allows the documentation to be made available on port 8080 of the
webserver (when using the default apache.conf file).

    Possible add a link from the above directory to
${PREFIX}/share/doc/${module} to make looking for the docs easier from the
console/telnet/ssh/etc..

3.  Look into creating certificates for the mod_ssl port.  Preliminary
support is there, but isn't finished.

4.  Determine if apxs will be used during the package install of the module
in order to put the appropriate entries in the apache.conf file.

     Currently, when you install a module from a module port, apxs is used
during the install.  Apxs does 2 things when it installs a module:

    a.  cp the module to the ${PREFIX}/libexec/apache dir
    b.  create the appropriate LoadModule/AddModule lines in the apache.conf
file (if it doesn't currently exist).

    But when you do a package install, the LoadModule/AddModule lines are
not added to the apache.conf file.

    Possibly an entry in the PLIST (@exec apxs -i %D/%B) after the module
has been placed in to the ${PREFIX}/libexec/apache will solve this problem.

5.  Review the current apache13-* ports and import the changes into the
module ports.

Could the current apache13-* maintainers review these ports and let me know
what you would like to have changed.  Also, if you would like to take the
maintainership of the appropriate mod_* port.

Thanks,

Scot
