I'll be happy if we adopt debian-like config installation system
here. It will be like this:
apache2 port creates a directory on its installation:
/usr/local/sbin/apache2-envvars.d/
And apache module ports which wants some modification on envvars
(namely, www/mod_python{,3}) install its own configuration under
there:
/usr/local/sbin/apache2-envvars.d/mod_python.sh
/usr/local/sbin/apache2-envvars.d/mod_python3.sh
/usr/local/sbin/apache2-envvars.d/mod_yet_another.sh
And, envvars contains a script which traverses the directory.
like:
for f in /usr/local/sbin/apache2/envvars.d/*; do
source $f;
done
I found this idea from debian's apache package and it looks very
useful for not only envvars but also httpd.conf. (we have several
ports that needs modification on httpd.conf in the ports already)
It was just an idea. :-)
