At the moment, I'm trying to package up bricolage[1] into a port. Everything seemed to be going OK, but I most have missed the big blazing sentence in the INSTALL file which said "mod_perl must be statically compiled into Apache" ... so after adding all (and there was a lot of them) the required dependencies, bricolage wouldn't build because mod_perl wasn't statically compiled. So, then I started looking into ways to do this via ports. It came to a thundering halt when I could find no other way than creating a separate port. I was thinking of creating something like the www/apache13-ssl port and name it apache13-mod_perl. Is this the appropiate way to solve the problem? Does anyone know of any other ports or programs that might benefit (or need) a statically compiled version of mod_perl+apache. Any comments or suggestions, especially by committers, are welcome.
