All the apache ports on FreeBSD should use the FreeBSD.layout:FreeBSD. Currently it is confusing and difficult to upgrade/switch between apache ports. I strongly believe they should install the same by default. It is probably also worth while to add the following to the makefiles: .if defined(USE_GNU_LAYOUT) LAYOUT?= GNU .endif LAYOUT?= ${FILESDIR}/FreeBSD.layout:FreeBSD and then modify CONFIGURE_ARGS to include --with-layout=${LAYOUT} \ So people can chose the other format if they want.
