It's not good for a port to behave differently depending on what
else the user has installed. A port should behave identically on
everyone's system (modulo such details as OS version and processor
architecture).
Instead, I recommend some variants to let the user select whether
they want to use MacPorts Apache 1, MacPorts Apache 2, or whatever
Apache Apple includes with Mac OS X.
variant apache conflicts apache2 apache_apple description {Use
MacPorts Apache 1} {
depends_run-append port:apache
set cgi_path "${prefix}/www/cgi-bin/"
}
variant apache2 conflicts apache apache_apple description {Use
MacPorts Apache 2} {
depends_run-append port:apache2
set cgi_path "${prefix}/apache2/cgi-bin/"
}
variant apache_apple conflicts apache apache2 description {Use Apple
Apache} {
set cgi_path "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/"
}
if {![variant_isset apache] && ![variant_isset apache2] && !
[variant_isset apache_apple]} {
default_variants +apache2
}
Actually there are also web servers other than Apache -- lighttpd
for example...
Excellent idea! I will be happy to implement this, however since
mbarchfe agreed to be maintainer for the mapserver port, he should
first approve this change.
mbarchfe, just let me know. Otherwise in 3 days I will implement this
according to the maintainer timeout rules.
Cheers!
Frank
