Heh...all the patches apply to different directories, that makes them unmanageable with our current ports system (AFAIK), even the handbook suggest the should with the other patches.

OTOH Brian Waters is maintaining a fully prepatched version in a single tarball, when he ports his version (he will) w3c-httpd can be nuked. Although his version is better, I don't want to maintain (or port) his version because it's based on version 3.0, while our version is 3.0A. > * Please close the PR, I have to rename the patches and check that at > * least the basic stuff still works. > > There's really no need to close the PR, you can just send the new > version as an update to this PR (just like this message was).
