Possible options include: 1. Initially add notes in section 27.7 where the current description does not apply to Apache 2, detailing the differences. Then at some later point, when Apache 2 becomes the preferred version, this approach can be reversed, so the main description deals with Apache 2, with notes detailing the differences with Apache 1.3. 2. Have a separate page describing Apache 2.x (less preferred IMHO). A first step would be to indicate that Apache 2.1 and 2.2 are available from ports. Currently, section 27.7 indicates Apache can be installed from either www/apache13 or from www/apache20. However, there are various alternative options: $ ls /usr/ports/www | grep ^apache apache-contrib apache-forrest apache-jserv apache-mode.el apache13 apache13+ipv6 apache13-modperl apache13-modssl apache13-modssl+ipv6 apache13-ssl apache20 apache21 apache22 I would suggest at least apache22 to be mentioned, possibly even instead of apache20, since according to the Apache project, 2.2.x is preferred over 2.0.x: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
