I am not sure weither you are being sarchastic here or not :)... I guess you are right there need to be something like that, but maybe the answer is not the FreeBSD port system. My point was that having so many apache ports is more annoying than beneficial, especially when you start to go in dependencies stuff... SO to rephrase my comment, a *minimal* set of apache ports for the really major conflicts inducing tricky interaction of some major modules is OK. But having an apache port for each and every combination of apache modules that exist is NOT a good thing. What if I want mod_frontpage but not php or mod_ssl ? Patrick.
