Hi! Just read all of this thread. I think the way to go here is more or less the same way as NetBSD. They have an apache port, and they have apache module ports (ap-*) and they even have php3-extension ports (php-*). This sounds like a dream to me ;-) From what I have gathered by reading all of this thread (hey, I just got here ;-) Scot W. Hetzel is having something very similar to what I just described, at least for apache modules. My vote is: Please commit it. One problem that exists now, is that apart from having a lot ports, we also have a lot of different layouts, and different binary names etc (the server is sometimes called 'httpd', sometime 'apache'), which makes it impossible to make a mod_* port that will work under every apache subport, and at the same time obey PREFIX. You'll have to ask APXS -q and hope that the user is actually running the lastly installed apache port; Installing apache13 followed by, say apache_modssl, will put almost everything in different places except for apxs! If you really need several different apache binaries, I suggest installing them with different PREFIXes. One main apache module with mod_* for as much as possible is the way to go, IMHO. Palle Girgensohn PS. NetBSD acutally has two, but the other one is for IPv6! They're really on a different scale here, I have to admit. DS.
