Clearly, there is some - you're interested in it. Building apache from their distribution is pretty simple - I do it because I want more control over the config than any of the ports. 2.0 should build equally easily, so just doing that is probably the best route. That also means that turning it into a port is pretty straightforward, and there are probably people who would appreciate it if you took that step as well. Note that "developement" means different things for different projects. For some, the "development" version is usually builds and runs, but gets bugs more often than the developers things is reasonable in production software. For others, it tends to be in an incredible state of flux, so getting a copy that works is more a matter of luck than anything else. The former are good port prospects, the latter are not. I've seen things that imply that apache 2.0 is in the latter category, so... http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
