A server profile should be as basic as possible. Choices like which apache version, which version of php, which mta, etc... should be left up to the person building the server, as opposed to what some particular gentoo developers favorite version of X is. I would also like, some day, to be able to use catalyst to build server install images without having to hack profiles. It seems to me the proper place to use the apache2 flag would be either in make.conf or package.use... Just a thought. -- [email protected] mailing list
