[...] I agree with the fact that mod_dav is not an alternative to frontpage extensions. By that I mean that they don't address the same problem. There is some overlap in functionality (uploading files to a web server) but the similarities end there. However I would a LOT happier if there was a port for the mod_frontpage module instead of having yet another "apache13-xxx-yyy-zzz-asd-sa-sd-sdf-srd" port. The current situation is already bad enough with the php(3,4), mod_ssl and what not versions. To me the ideal situation would be: - a simple apache port (apache13) - a new port category (maybe) for the apache modules where I could find mod_ssl, mod_php, mod_frontpage, mod_xyz, etc. This way I could choose exactly the apache configuration I need/want. This is exactly why I created a "mod_dav" port as opposed to a "apache-mod_dav-xxx" port. It would be really great if you could do the same with the mod_frontpage module. > Dirk Froemberg wrote: > > > We don't need more apache* ports, but less. ;-) I think we are on the same wavelength...
