I agree to this. According to 2, we should also install license.txt.
Particularly because of an eventual package, but I think it's something
we should do anyway with this port. Feel free to do these changes without
sending me patches. :-)

(On a side note, I have a problem with licenses. I used to work for a
computer mag in Norway putting together their cover CD-Roms. Every tiny
little license had to comply of course, or I needed to get explicit
permissions etc. Did that for half a year. It tipped me over, I hate
software licenses now. I probably try to be too careful in not breaking
any licenses. Sigh.)

Yes. I have an update pending to update the port + create some children
for the different types of clients (perl, java). I'm not really
satisfied with the port as it is. I'll fix the user/group package
show-stopper if you want, but if you have patches for it please send
them.

Who of you will actually use this port? My first goal was to make
mod_log_spread available for FreeBSD, but I didn't get there yet. It
took *quite* a while to get spread commited in the first place too. :|

Would a Secure Spread port be of interest, BTW?

Cheers,
